A very nice record and a truly original rarity.

I have play tested both sides of this and there are no issues. It has been cleaned prior to insertion. The vinyl has a lovely sheen. The labels are excellent with just some minor rubbing. No stickers and no writing.

I must mention one thing, strangely around the label grid there are a series of tiny punch holes. I do not know what these are and can only assume that they are factory faults. Please be assured that playback is not affected in any way.

A quick word about Ray. I have seen Ray many times in performance and noticed that he never sang Shangrila despite it being one of his favourites. Apparently it is quite difficult to do technically. However when I last saw him in Nottingham in 2012 he sang it. Absolutely brilliant and well worth the wait. Finally, a few years ago I couldn't get to one of Ray's concerts and wrote to the theatre asking him if he would kindly send me a signed photo. I heard nothing for weeks. Then the signed photo came. It was franked 'Mount Pleasant' - the huge sorting office in London. Ray had carried my letter right to the end of his tour and then sent the photo when he got home. What a lovely man!
