I am selling this on behalf of an elderly relative who purchased this record new in 1962. The record is in good condition and has only been played once in the last 40 years which was to help potential buyers grade the record. The record is housed in the original sleeve with adverts for EMI products on the reverse. The sleeve does have some damage please see the photos. To hear this record please visit the Youtube link below.

The record will be posted to the winner in a secure record mailer. I have added £10.00 for international signed for but I will need to work out the exact cost. any questions please ask.
I have just been sent an email that thinks that this issue is the 2nd pressing rather than the first. I sourced the information from various websites before listing the record so please feel free to do your own research as it does seem rather confusing. I have listed one of the sites that I visited below in case it helps. Any questions please ask and sorry for any confusion if this is a 2nd pressing.
