Description
ST 2458 UK probably issued late 60s soon after the original 1966 release.
As far as I can tell from Discogs this has an unusual label and sleeve. The yellow / green label has the text “Made by the Gramophone Company Limited in Great Britain “ at 10 o’clock (ie Gramophone company not EMI Records ). Also there is no “made in Gt Britain “ rim text on the right which is usual on these green labels.
Also the front laminated sleeve has top & bottom rear flipbacks only, there is no side flipback (the original issue sleeve has 3 flipbacks).
matrix no’s DT1 2458 - A19 & DT2 2458 - A19 are same as original 1966 first pressing.
The vinyl looks VG+, it is clean with some light marks / hairlines. Tested on a Rega and it it played through very well with no jumps, there was a little light crackle & the occasional tick in some of the gaps / intros but nothing significant in my opinion.
The vinyl has been cleaned on my pro-ject VC-S cleaning machine using non-alcohol based fluid.
The sleeve is in VG+ condition, no splits or tears, minor edgewear, light staining to rear, nice fully legible spine.

-----------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject or Rega turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
