Original UK Mono release (Columbia 'half moon'), with original inner. LOW RESERVE!
Vinyl-  Excellent- Near Mint. Very clean with only a couple of visually noticeable marks on side 1 (on the run in and runout of track 6, as per the picture). However playback in this area does not appear to be significantly affected too much beyond a few background (barely audible) ticks.  Note that I have a fairly unforgiving cartridge for my playback system and the grading reflects the condition. Minimal spindle 'spider marks' on side 1 with only a few on Side 2. Looks to have only been played a few times. Lovely mono sound on a very rare release!
Matrix (run-out groove)- Side 1 M6 229287 at 6 o'clock, XLX 1040 21 at 12 o'clock, upside down 'A' at 9 o'clock with tiny 'p'(?) alongside.  Side 2 M6 229288 at 6 o'clock, XLX 1041 21 at 12 o'clock, 'G' at 3 o'clock with tiny 'p'(?) alongside. 
Cover-  Front- clarifoil cover VG+ (no splitting and intact). Some wear where record has indented and some minor bumps to bottom left and bottom right (see picture for more details)  Rear- slight yellowing due to age but overall VG+. Flipback seals all intact with some very light creasing along the bottom and lower side rim (again, see picture for more details) 
Inner sleeve- Original with slight yellowing and significant creasing around where the record has been. Note- have replaced it with another inner bag (rice paper, etc). 
I am listing many more rare UK classical items (HMV, Columbia, EMI, rare 60's Stereo editions) over the next couple of weeks so please take a look at my other items. 
Please note- tracking postage required for all items above 25 pounds (or equivalent currency) on winning bid. Please ask for postage costs in advance of bidding if required. 
Also note- condition of record is as described on a visual basis only unless otherwise noted so please take this into consideration when bidding as, if it's not described as mint/like new, it won't be!
