A very nice copy of this rare LP by Honeybus, original stereo UK DERAM release. 
It is in great condition, very clean copy. Of course you will hear the odd light pop or crackle, but not anything that would spoil the listening pleasure. The sleeve is very good + with no obvious damage, just some signs of wear, and it has the blue Decca lined inner which has no splits. Please check my photos. 
The label is excellent with little spindle wear. Barely any ring wear to rear of sleeve. Laminated front small overlap around spine to rear, very minimal lifting of laminate close to spine. Spine fully legible. 

There was a skip in track 2 of side 2 and I could not see what is causing it, however, I have given it a clean, and now it does not skip, but there are about 4 clicks (half way through "She's Out There"). 
All in all a very nice copy. 

"Honeybus were a 1960s pop group formed in April 1967, in London. They are best known for their 1968 UK Top 10 hit single, "I Can't Let Maggie Go", written by group member Pete Dello who also composed their previous single "(Do I Figure) In Your Life", later recorded by Dave Berry, Ian Matthews, Joe Cocker, Dave Stewart, Paul Carrack, Samantha Jones, Dana and Pierce Turner. The band's main composers were Dello and Ray Cane although other members contributed songs. The group's supporters and critics, amongst them Kenny Everett, compared the band to Rubber Soul-era Beatles.
Their 1970 album Story, without an active band to promote it, failed to chart. However, it is now highly collectable and sells for around £1,000 in perfect condition. It has since been re-issued on compact disc."
