The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is ILP 967 on the ORIGINAL 'Textured' 1st Press Island Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Art at their best!!!! Any fan of Art, Spooky Tooth, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition and plays BRILLIANTLY!!!! 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 a few light hairlines (all are VERY light indeed!), NO scufflines, and only a few light paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  There is also some lateral lines around the record 'with' the grooves (only visible under light) - but this is 100% GUARANTEED from the original 1st Pressing (I seen this on 3 other pressings of this LP) and is NOT groovewear and of course DOES NOT sound in ANY respect!!!!  In any case - these can ONLY be seen under EXTREMELY bright light and are so minor that I doubt most would even mention it!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade visually Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better - with the playing grade better still!!!!  THIS RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY!!!!  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 also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in AWESOME condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not better!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
