Canada London PS552, 1968. This is the ONLY copy of the Canadian press I've ever seen in 18 years of collecting DG. I've seen more copies of Holly Kaleidoscope on UK Decca. I've seen more copies of All That Moody on UK Eron. I conclude that this is seriously rare......
The cover is identical to the US press as far as I can see and you'll be aware that these non-laminated covers wear very easily. There is wear on the edges and corners but no splits to the cardboard. To the rear there is a piece of the paper cover missing to the top left-hand corner and a small name written on the top right-hand corner. There is a small hole punched in the front top left-hand corner and a 4-5mm tear in the open edge (see photos) but no material has been lost here. I'll grade the cover VG but its condition is consistent with being fairly well looked after- as I said, these covers wear easily.
The labels are clean and you can read 'Made In Canada' in the lettering around the label edge.
The record itself has one faint mark on side 1 otherwise I would grade it EX.
Reserve £100 cos if I can't get that I'm keeping it.
