No is CS 8108 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press MGM label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and a few VERY spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall (though not PERFECT!)!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 VERY long (but NON sounding!) scufflines, only a few VERY light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, barely ANY clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - though this is lost WAY behind ALL but the VERY quietest parts of the music ONLY!!!!   The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good++++ (PROPERLY graded, NOT wrecked) if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The only other very VERY minor detail to mention - is part of the bottom flipback has come loose at some point in the past, and has been carefully re-stuck (though this is undetectable - and only mentioned for accuracies sake alone!)!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
