PRESSING:              1968 Original “FIRST” Pressing STEREO LP with the rare Philips “promotional sticker” hyping the album affixed to the upper right side of the album.

CATALOG #:           PHILIPS  PHS 600-279

Comments:                Extremely RARE, nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find in original “SEALED” condition with the "rare" promotional sticker and without any significant flaws!! This is one of the cleanest sealed copies for this particular release that you can ever expect to locate, a condition rarity!

                                                CONDITION  ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)

COVER:                    NrMT+

Comments:                Super clean glossy “gatefold” cover displays extremelybright vivid colors with tight original factory shrink wrap. No ring wear beneath the shrink, No seam splits, No cut out marks, discount holes or bar codes. Ever so slight corner wear barely worth mentioning is the only minor flaw, but is still mentioned for accuracy. There is absolutely No separation of the shrink along the opening side of the album! Doesn’t get much better than this for a pristine 47 year-old sealed LP!!

VINYL:                      Heavy “thick” vinyl, presumed MINT (Sealed)

Comments:                Catalog number indicates “First” and only Pressing – “Black labels with PHILIPS shield above center hole”. With an opening bid of just $70.00, this LP could be yours at just one quarter of the price paid for the one that sold January 4th!!

Please note:                This album is being listed and sold as a “Sealed” collectible LP. If the buyer decides to break the seal on the opening side, or any other margin of the album, I will NOT accept the return of the LP. Please know this in advance.

I am very conservative with my grading.  There is NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for multiple LPs won in the same auction cycle.  Payment is due within 72 hours of the end of the auction.  e-mail if you have any questions prior to placing a bid.  All of my LPs come with a protective poly album sleeve and will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard LP mailer, tightly wrapped in bubble wrap for added protection.

Shipping:  $4.00 Media Mail.  If you purchase multiple LPs in this auction cycle, please wait to make payment until I adjust the eBay invoice to reflect one shipping cost.

PLEASE NOTE:  I ship to the United States only!!  NO International bids will be accepted, no exceptions – I will NOT ship overseas.
