Condition and details below:

The outer sleeve I have listed as VG+, because it has a great spine, only a little laminate creasing on front and is intact, no rips or tears. There is a bit of staining on rear and bottom right rear corner a small piece of tape - please view all photos.

The original use emitex rice-paper inner sleeve is fantastic for its age, very clean, no rips around edges and just a small crease and small tear in centre

The labels are very good, only a slight bit of rubbing at the absolute centre, and small sticky tape residue mark on side one (see photos)

The vinyl has light scuffs and marks from past usage, nothing deep/feelable and they have little to no impact on playback. A more noticeable mark on side two causes some very light pop and crackle but in no way obtrusive...The sound is a good and strong mono reproduction  , as it was heard in 1963 - superb! Watch and listen to the video clip added to this listing ....

....LOW MOTHER/STAMPER NUMBERS:side one = XEX 421-1N /2/AR

side two = XEX 422-1N /1/RL

All in all a fantastic surviving copy of this rare, original 3rd press from 1963
