The Cat. No is TAP 23 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Grooved' Tempo label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  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 or 3 MEGA light hairline traces, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  There is also some very VERY 'dappling' to the vinyl (probably how it originally came from manufacture) - though this is ONLY visible under the most EXTREME light possible (most would never even mention it!) and does NOT affect play in the slightest!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better and is very VERY close to a grade above!!!!  BRILLIANT RECORD!!!!  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 'Handling/Playing' Thicker Paper inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'West Brothers' Flipback Laminated MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition - and despite a few VERY minor details, is undoubtedly a very VERY nice example indeed!!!!  Generally it has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, only 1 small crease (NOT a tear!) to the top flipback, NO flipback loss, NO flipback damage and NO writing!!!!  There are only 2 VERY minor details to mention on this cover - though as you can VERY clearly see in my pictures, this cover looks BRILLIANT!!!!  Firstly, in 1 VERY small part of the spine, there is a TINY piece of 're-sticking' where the surface looks to have lifting slightly and has been re-stuck (this is VERY minor indeed!).  And secondly there has been an EXTREMELY well done repair to the top edge - though this 100% strong here, and is VERY unnoticeable indeed!!!!  And despite these minor details - this cover still looks BRILLIANT and 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!!!!
