RELEASE DATE: 1970

A RARE 1ST PRESS WITH SOME ISSUES DESCRIBED BELOW. THIS IS THE REASON FOR SUCH A LOW STARTING PRICE.

CONDITION: 

FIRST OF ALL THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED A NUMBER OF TIMES AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE SPINDLE MARKS ON BOTH LABELS. IT IS DEFINITELY AN ALBUM OF 2 SIDES. 

SIDE 1. THERE ARE LIGHT MARKS ACROSS THE VINYL BUT NOTHING NASTY. NO DEEP SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM RIGHT THROUGH. THERE IS SOME FAIRLY LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND THERE ARE JUST A FEW LIGHT POPS. THE SOUND IS REALLY CLEAR AND SOUNDS GOOD.

SIDE 2. APART FROM A MARK AT THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 1 IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO SIDE 1 BUT, UNFORTUNATELY THE SOUND IS NOT THE SAME. FROM THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 1 THERE IS DISTORTION MAINLY IN THE VOCALS WHICH DOES SPOIL THE SONG SOMEWHAT. THE DISTORTION THEN APPEARS OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE SECOND SIDE. TRACK 4 STICKS IN ONE PLACE. I WOULD THEREFORE GRADE SIDE 1 AS VERY GOOD AND SIDE 2 AS POOR ONLY. IT IS POSSIBLE IT MIGHT IMPROVE WITH ONE OF  THE PROFESSIONAL CLEANING MACHINES THAT ARE AROUND TODAY BUT I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ONE.

THE OUTER SLEEVE HAS A FAIR BIT OF GENERAL WEAR - SOME LIGHT CREASING AND RINGWEAR. GENERALLY NICE AND CLEAN. NO WRITING. NO TEARS. DECENT SPINE. GOOD CONDITION.

THE ORIGINAL INSERT IS GENERALLY CLEAN AND TIDY. SOME LIGHT CREASING -- NOTHING BENT OVER. A LITTLE STAINING TO ONE CORNER. NO TEARING AND NO WRITING. VERY GOOD CONDITION.

PLEASE ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU LIKE.

THE RECORD AND PLAIN INNER SLEEVE WILL BE PACKED OUTSIDE THE MAIN SLEEVE AND PLACED INSIDE A PLASTIC CIVER. THEN IN A PROPER MAILER WITH EXTRA STIFFENERS.

IF THE TOTAL VALUE OF GOODS EXCEEDS £20 THEN PLEASE CHOOSE THE ROYAL MAIL SIGNED FOR OPTION. IF IT EXCEEDS £50 THEN PLEASE CHOOSE ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY OPTION.

FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS IF THE TOTAL VALUE OF GOODS EXCEEDS £20 THEN PLEASE CHOOSE THE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR OPTION.

APOLOGIES FOR  ANY DODGY PHOTOGRAPHY.

IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH MY DESCRIPTION I WILL OFFER A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ONCE THE ITEM IS RETURNED TO ME. I WOULD MUCH PREFER YOU CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH ANYTHING BEFORE POSTING ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AS IT HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME TO BUILD UP MY 100% RATING. MANY THANKS.
