Third Australian version (which has the same catalog# as the first). Released between 1964-1968.
Black label with silver printing and yellow Parlophone logo.
First cat. number on the cover, second on the label.
The cover is VG+  (a superb original flip-back Australian "floating heads" cover that is very hard to find in this sort of condition)
The labels are VG+         (very nice labels, but the white "331/3" has been neatly coloured in red with a marker pen).
The vinyl record is VG+   (faint lines, no effect on the audio, it plays with excellent audio)

This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 
 
BAD
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
