This version features a picture of "W. R Phang's Dental Surgery" (a genuine business) on the top right on the front cover. This version was withdrawn following objections from Dr. Phang due to dentists not being allowed to advertise. A later version came out featuring a picture of a gargling monk.

Gatefold sleeve is superb, no major wear, no sticker marks and very little sign of handling
One of the inners has a small tear in top corner, but both VG+, no taping or splits, only light wear...
The labels are excellent, no writing, no major scuffs or marks , on close up viewing there is a bit of light staining/fading apparent, but hardly notices - see photos
The vinyl on both LPs shows some light marks only on close inspection, and has a great sheen, excellent. Very clean all round
Listen to the short video clip for an indication of the overall sound quality. A great listen with only minor , occasional background crackle etc. Great for it's age...
