The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is FID 2112 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Saga label (see picture) and is a UK 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Good Earth at their best!!!! Any fan of Good Earth, Mungo Jerry, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  THIS RECORD HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in 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 light hairlines, a few TINY pressing marks (clearly from manufacture - and typical of these Saga pressings), and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  There is also a slight grey 'haze' to the vinyl under EXTREME light - but again - anyone who knows these Saga pressings will already know that this is how they came from manufacture and is NOT a defect in ANY respect!!!!  In any case it can only be seen under EXTREME light and of course DOES NOT affect play!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! Its plays with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO hiss!!!! The record for the most part is CRACKLE FREE - and EVERY song plays BRILLIANTLY!!!!  However there is some crackle in 2 or 3 of the gaps between tracks on one side (only VERY low level static/crackle - NOT nasty loud 'frying bacon' type crackle) - but as I said before this is fairly typical of these Saga pressings.  In any case this record really does play BRILLIANTLY and there is NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ 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 also comes in its ORIGINAL Saga inner sleeve!!!!  The 1st Press Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear (apart from a couple of areas of roughening on the bottom edge), NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear, only a few light creases (Cover is still VERY flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in GREAT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, only VERY slight rubbing and only some VERY slight yellowing!!!!  There are a couple of VERY minor defects to mention.  Firstly on the cover back there is a VERY small 'line' near to the bottom of the opening edge - though the cover is 100% strong at this point and there is NO tape or evidence of any repair on this inside of the cover.  The other INCREDIBLY minor defect is 2 or 3 laminate indentations on the cover front (NOT through the colour), and a few tiny marks (barely visible AT ALL)!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND AND IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPS ON THE SAGA LABEL -  SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
