It doesn't really get any better than this...
1st pressing - top top condition - FACTORY SAMPLE......nuff said...
ANYONE WITH PRIVATE/HIDDEN FEEDBACK PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST....
1st mother on side 1 - any questions feel free to bat them through.....
Please note the factory sample sticker is consistent with the design of stickers in 1964. Right down to the fact that there is a missing chunk from the 'T' in 'NOT..' which is a fault found on all genuine stickers from '64.

Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) It's difficult enough finding the 1st pressing in this kind of condition - let alone a factory sample. Lovely shiny solid vinyl which has seen only light use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light wispy marks a couple 2 inchs long - all of which are very very minor/superficial and not remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetween are nice and quiet and the audio comes across with amazing clarity and barely any interference. We only detected a touch of the lightest possible static in a couple of places - it really is that good. Difficult to imagine going any better than this on any copy - let alone a factory sample. The audio really is pure...very pure.
Cover (Ex) Again, this is super well preserved. Finding the front cover in this condition is nigh on impossible - they were so fragile. Shiny front and back with only the very lightest of handling wear. The only vaguely noticeable deterioration is at the foot of spine just a tiny amount of wear. And that really is vaguely all that worth mentioning. The interior is perfectly preserved with the lightest of wear. The spine is 100% intact and overall the cover retains an unrivalled level of rigidity. Again, difficult to imagine finding a better example....
Emitex (Ex) Perfectly preserved only the very lightest ageing. No marks or seam splits.

Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
