I have On offer here a VERY RARE LP by The Artwoods titled "Art Gallery" and is an ORIGINAL 1966 UK MONO 1st Pressing. The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl with the Cat.No. 4830 on the 1st Press 'Grooved' UNBOXED Decca label!   

 THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!  THIS IS PROBABLY THE ALL-TIME RAREST LP ON THE DECCA LABEL - AND RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE!! (Especially with both LP & cover in this condition!) 

 BACK IN 1966 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT SOLD IN VERY FEW COPIES AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!! AS A RESULT COPIES ARE INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!  ALTHOUGH THIS LP HAS A FEW VERY MINOR DETAILS TO NOTE ON THE VINYL, IT IS IN VG + CONDITION!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  IT'S OUTSTANDING

 1ST PRESS 1A/1A MONO MATRIX ENDINGS, HAS A DECCA INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'ROBERT STACE' LAMINATED MONO COVER!!

 The LP is in great shape possibly VG + going by record collector grading guidelines with very minimal small marks/surface marks on the vinyl & showing very little signs of wear with only a small amount of surface noise & maybe the odd small click here & there but nothing that detracts from the actual music, The surfaces still retain a lovely shine & the grooves are nice & clean so I would say it's not had a lot of plays, I have played it through both sides with no issues IE no skips or jumps no distortion & no nasty loud pops or clicks just the aforementioned surface noise which would be consistent with an LP of nearly 50 years old, It's plays & sounds fantastic after all those years & I even bought a brand new Ortofon stylus just to play this Very Rare LP.

The cover is also in great shape with very little wear & the spine is in excellent condition with no splits whatsoever/No writing or unsightly marks on the sleeve Just look at the pictures to see how clean the cover is, Whoever buys/Wins this LP will not be disappointed.

 As far as I know I've given all the correct information about this extremely Rare LP But I'm not an expert & do not claim to be I just look at what's out there on the net & talk to others that do know so if you have any questions regarding this LP please use the ask seller a question option & I will get back to you as soon as I can,
