Description
This is a well looked after album. Original first press mono in original red mono sleeve (EX) with correct stampers, and mono/stereo selector tab on the reverse of the gatefold sleeve. This indicates that this album is a very early first press
Original Deram sleeve is in EXC condition. Colour is strong throughout and the spine is fully intact. The mono/stereo selector tab on reverse is fully intact and showing red for mono. The stereo version came in a blue inner sleeve.
Vinyl is in VG++ condition. Both sides are clear of scratches and serious scuffing. There are very slight spindle marks on labels. Playback is clear without pops, skips or jumps, though there is very slight crackle in parts and a few extremely minor clicks. All in all a great original sound throughout, especially at loud volume!

A near excellent example of this now rare mono LP; undoubtedly a collectors quality record.
Record Collector Grading System
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
