Description
Decca LK4661 with pasted over rear cover. In mid 1965 the initial "blind man" text was censored. Before the censored cover was printed, a paper sheet with "blind man" text removed was pasted on the back of existing covers. There is no printer credit and no "Made in England" printed.
matrix no’s XARL-6619-2A / XARL-6620-1A
The vinyl looks VG, clean and bright with a some light marks / scuffs. I’ve played it all on a Rega and it played mostly EX, with nice clear sharp audio. The only significant flaw I noted was in the gap between the first 2 tracks there were 3 or 4 faint clicks followed by a louder one but apart from that there were no other repetitive clicks and no skips (on close inspection there’s a very small light scratch running in the direction of the grooves between tracks 1&2). There was also some background crackle in “Under the Boardwalk” and very light crackle in a few of the gaps between tracks. Nothing too intrusive though. All in all a highly enjoyable listen.
The sleeve is VG with normal wear / creasing, fully legible spine, no splits, on the back there are track timings of the first 3 tracks faintly hand written in pencil, some laminate lift bottom left corner. Also a tiny nick on the opening just above the Decca logo.
The vinyl has been cleaned on my Pro-ject VC-S cleaning machine using non-alcohol based fluid and is stored in a new anti static lined inner.
Original Decca Inner included
Please see photos
I’m also selling some other vinyl from my collection, see my other listings.
Happy to combine postage.

-----------------
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
