The original 1970 UK vinyl release of The Beach Boys' Sunflower on Stateside records with their catalogue number SSLA 8251. This, being the original UK release, has the tracklisting as given below where it opens with Cottonfields and swaps the order of Deirdre and Got to Know the Woman, when compared to the US release. Nice and rare, a lovely addition to any collection.
There is some wear and discolouration to the outer and inner sleeves, including the odd scuff and a hole in the inner at the bottom, where the LP can protrude slightly. I have pictured everything I can and more pictures are available if you want.
There is a little crackle, particularly track 1, side 1 (Slip On Through) and the run-out on Sides 1 and 2, but overall sounds fantastic. The definitive post-Pet Sounds album.

Grading according to Record Collector system:
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or
deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as
the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records
advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very
little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have
slight wear and / or creasing.
The
record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major
deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the
occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra
items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has
noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild
scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of
edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly
and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and
contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise,
etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
