Verve V-5008 (U.S. First Press MONO) One of the great rock lp's in the superb MONO pressing.This cover,with all the variations,has always been hard to grade-so I will try and describe it carefully. The banana is pretty much intact but has been scraped at on the top(please see pics to see clearly.) There is no writing at all but there is quite a bit of rubbing and discoloration front and back and the cover must have been damp at one time as it is wavy along the bottom front and has some discoloration inside. The spine is really nice and reads clearly.
The lp is VG++(Excellent) with full gloss and excellent fidelity and dynamics. A couple of very light lines not effecting play, The labels are beautiful but (king) written one side of label(see pics.)
A cool addition to anyone's music library
