Notes/Description: I believe this to be the earliest known Mono press. The vinyl is a great play and for the most part plays VG+ to EX but on Side 1, Track 1 for the first 20 seconds or so. there is some noise and there may be a tiny skip which I think is caused by a circular groove scratch but is very hard to detect as its so close to the run-in. Other than that there are a few cosmetic hairlines but from there it plays superbly. The sleeve is in great order with just a couple of laminate creases but otherwise undamaged and with little or no wear.
