This is the first UK pressing with '5/57' dated bottom flipback & a unique picture sleeve for the British market.
Condition : Sleeve : VG Fantastic looking UK-only design. Former London shop sticker on the bottom flip. Some light ring wear & minor paper chipping. Some small laminate peeling at the edges forgivable with age. Secure flipbacks with all text legible. Vinyl : VG Professionally cleaned on a Matrix machine, the only flaw is a light scratch detectable during 'Tea For Two' which causes a few clicks on rotation, would otherwise reach a higher grade. This top quality pressing has great sound & is now sixty years old. Tough to find.
