No is WS 1768 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Warner Bros label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  However - this record is simple to describe.  It is what is commonly termed in the record collecting world as 'a player'.  I.e. it plays through fine - with NO jumps, and NO sticks!!!!  However although most of the record is bright and shiny, there are 3 or 4 visible marks, a residue trace (which may clean off) under light, and a few light hairlines.  Record plays with a few light clicks, and some noticeable surface noise.  However a clean may help this considerably.  Therefore I will only give this record the lowest possible grading of a record that does not jump - Fair.  That said I have seen PLENTY of records graded VG that look worse than this one (though please do not expect that).  And indeed, the visual grading is better than the grading given.  That said - I have been as clear as possible to avoid any problems!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated Cover is still VERY decent indeed - with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO annotations, VERY shiny laminate, some evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, barely ANY grubbyness AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and still a very VERY decent cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, AND ALTHOUGH IT ISNT PERFECT, IT IS ALMOST NEVER SEEN NOW - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
