THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND WASN'T ISSUED IN THE USA WITH MOST OF THE FEW COPIES THAT DID SELL IN THE UK BEING THE MONO VERSIONS AS MARBLE ARCH TENDED TO BE A MONO ONLY LABEL WITH MOST STEREO COPIES BEING EXPORTED TO OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE STEREO HAD CAUGHT ON A LOT EARLIER AS THE STANDARD FORMAT. 

THIS COPY IS FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND PLAYS SUPERB WITH LOTS OF BASS AND VOLUME AS WELL AS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE HAVING BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR SINCE 1969 BY JUST ONE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO USED GOOD EQUIPMENT!. 

THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS WITH GLEAMING SURFACES WITH A COUPLE OF  FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND PLAYS THROUGH VERY NICELY INDEED! THE RECORD ITSELF IS STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! THICK VINYL.

THERE IS NO WRITING,STAINING OR REPAIRS! THE SPINE DETAILS ARE EASY TO READ! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! 

A LOW,REALISTIC £20 PRICE WITH MORE RARE 1960s LPs  FROM ME ON EBAY.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
