On offer here is a   rare first mono pressing of an album by the Bonzo Dog( Doo-Dah Band) from 1968 entitled the Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse on the Liberty blue original label,later issues in black.By 1968 most people were buying stereo copies so the mono version is much rarer.It also comes with the rare booklet missing in later issues or removed and lost.
Labels
I would grade both labels as EX ,no writing or names,just a few spindle marks but nothing too obtrusive.The label is Liberty blue.
Vinyl
I would grade both sides as EX.There were no scuffs just a non-feelable scratch mark about 1/16th inch long at the end of side 2.This vinyl is not mint but it is a perfectly playable copy with no dishing or warping.The matrices are A1/B1 so a first pressing.
Sleeve
This is a gatefold unlaminated sleeve.I would class it as being in EX condition.There is a little wear on the edges but the spine is fully readable.There is no writing on the sleeve.These sleeves were rather fragile and prone to wear with badly worn spines and feathering but this sleeve although not mint,is perfectly acceptable unless you are a perfectionist.The package also comes with the rare booklet in a good EX condition with no tears or imperfections.




Overall ,I do not think this rare album will disappoint any winning bidder and to give everyone a chance,I have deliberately set a low start price for the auction.It is not mint so please do not bid if you are searching for a mint copy.It goes without saying that if anyone is disappointed,I offer a compromise or a full refund..Please contact me directly if there is a problem. If you are secretly happy, please do not contact me simply to negotiate a lower price than the amount bid.This defeats the purpose of ebay.
Postage
I offer free postage to U.K.buyers and will ship world wide.£10 for Europe,£15 for rest of world.I have in the past excluded certain countries such as Russia and the Ukraine.In Russia sadly parcels are held up at customs ,go missing or the item can take 10 to 12 weeks to be delivered.Buyers would need to be patient and accept the purchase at their own risk but I will send all items tracked and can email a copy of the tracking receipt.I know some sellers have stopped sending to certain countries.
Payment
I refer PayPal in the U.K. but would accept a cheque or postal order.PayPal only for the rest of  the world.I do not have a facility to accept credit cards unless this is possible via PayPal.
