THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1965 UK MONO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1A/1A MONO MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'HANDLING/PLAYING' INNER SLEEVE, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'JAMES UPTON' LAMINATED MONO COVER (WITH WITHDRAWN BLIND MAN CREDIT!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK 1st Pressing from 1965 and is in GREAT condition overall - with an absolutely STUNNING cover for once!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is LK 4661 on the ORIGINAL UNBOXED 'Grooved' 1st Press Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is still VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!!!!  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 Side 2 of the record has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks (NON sounding!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs ONLY visible under light!!!!  Side 2 of the record must EASILY grade Very Good++++ if not better and looks BRILLIANT!!!!  However, although Side 1 is just as shiny as Side 2 - I suspect the 1 previous owner must have left it out of the cover with this side down at some point in the last.  As a result, Side 1 has 3 or 4 visible hairline type marks, 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  And this is a bit of a shame - as the rest of the record & cover are in STUNNING condition - and the record has clearly not been played much AT ALL!!!!  THE RECORD IS STILL VERY BRIGHT & SHINY LOOKING INDEED!!!!  The record plays - with NO skips, a few clicks/pops on Side 1, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight 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!!!!  Obviously this is a VERY hard one to grade - as Side 2 is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition - and Side 1 has a few marks.  Therefore I will grade at Good to avoid any disappointment - though obviously most of the record is CONSIDERABLY better than this!!!!  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 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'James Upton' Laminated MONO Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, NO splits, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY AS THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH 1A/1A MATRIX ENDINGS & WITHDRAWN LAMINATED 'BLIND MAN' COVER!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
