An original 1st issue MONO press of WTB on UK Parlophone from Xmas 1963. Matrix 7N/7N  Note how the perimeter text still reads Parlophone and 1st pub stil exhibiting. Lovely solid pressing as you would expect. A really well preserved original - not abused like so many other copies. The vinyl comes housed in an original mono cover. There's also the original Emitex inner too. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Vg+) In super condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light marks per side - nothing heavy or troublesome though. For the vintage - it looks really good. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with deviation in a couple of spots per side. Intros and inbetweens are nice and quiet and the audio comes across with excellent clarity. Given the vintage - very impressive. I'm just getting clean mono feed - mostly. Even the quieter tracks play well. Perhaps a few crackles in a couple of the quieter spots per side. To be frank - this is a really nice quality example of WTB. Overall a great rendition and better than what typically surfaces. Remember this is genuine '63 and is now 60 years of age!
Cover (Vg/Vg+) Difficult to find in really great condition - but this example is about average. Nice clean front with just a couple of thumbnails much nicer than the average '63 copy. The rear has is exhibiting the sort ageing level that is difficult to avoid. Still tidy with record store sticker top left. Flipbacks in really good order. The spine is 90%+ intact. Minimal edge wear which is something you can rarely say about a vintage '63 copy! Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Some ageing , and no splits.
