(1969 HARVEST RECORDS - RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!)

THIS IS A GENUINE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER UK FIRST PRESSING. THERE IS NO “EMI” LOGO ON THE LABELS. I HAVE RARELY SEEN A GENUINE UK FIRST PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IN SUCH LOVELY CONDITION!!
THE VINYL IS HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL, POLY-LINED HARVEST ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE, WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR, DISCOLOURATION AND A FEW MINOR CREASES.

MATRIX NUMBERS ARE SHVL 756 A-1 / SHVL 756 B-1
THE SLEEVE
THE FANTASTIC, FULLY LAMINATED, GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS A HINT OF SOME SLIGHT RING WEAR AND A FEW TINY WRINKLES HERE AND THERE. THERE IS A TINY SCUFF TO ONE CORNER AND THE LAMINATE IS JUST BEGINNING TO LIFT IN THIS AREA. YOU WILL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND THIS SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED SLEEVE IN SUCH NICE CONDITION - IT LOOKS AMAZING.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE VINYL IS HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL, POLY-LINED HARVEST ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE, WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR, DISCOLOURATION AND A FEW MINOR CREASES.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS GREAT LP AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE ICONIC YELLOW & GREEN HARVEST LABELS BOTH HAVE THE “THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD ...” TEXT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE EMI LOGOS. BOTH LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH A FEW SLIGHT MARKS.
