*SOLID 'STEREO' COVER LOGO*
The final incarnation of this iconic label was available for just a few months in late 1969 before the switch to the black and silver 'One EMI Box' design. These late variants were noteable for the omission of the 'Sold in U.K...' label text which was removed from all EMI product from August 1969.
This rare LP is housed in a rare variant cover with the small solid 'stereo' logo which was briefly available around this time.
This rare stereo third pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: PCS 3071
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Gramophone Co. Ltd..' rims. Housed in a front laminated, flipback Garrod & Lofthouse cover with 'solid' stereo logo on the front.

The vinyl plays superb and is quiet between tracks There is just a very light hairline mark on track 1 side 1 but obviously it does not affect the quality of play in any way and as i said the sound quality is clear crisp with little or no background noise  
The Sleeve is in excellent condition just a small mark on the front laminate and the odd crease The spine is excellent with very nice clear writing there is no edge wear on the spine or top and bottom edges 
The labels are in excellent condition and have no sign of wear around the spindle hole There is just a very light graze on label 1 please see picture 7
The inner sleeve Very good plus No seam splits just light handling marks
