PICTURESQUE MATCHSTICKABLE MESSAGES FROM THE STATUS QUO

MONO
PRESSED ON 170gms OF 1968 ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT YINYL !!!!

SUPERB ALBUM AND PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH EX AUDIO !!!!
THIS IS 'THE STATUS QUO' AS THEY WERE KNOWN THEN,  AND THEIR FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM, RELEASED ON 27th SEPTEMBER 1968. FORMED IN LONDON IN 1962, THIS IS A DIFFERENT STATUS QUO TO THE ONE YOU ARE USED TO, AS BACK IN THE DAY THEY WERE MORE 1960's PSYCHEDELIC, SO VERY 1960's AND THIS IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM, AND WILL BE A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  NPL 18220  A-2 *T  ::   NPL 18220  B-2 *T .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1 C  ::  1 A .
ON THE SKY BLUE AND BLACK PYE LABEL  ::  NPL 18220 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS MONO FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING, IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION, WITH BEAUTIFUL SPINE AND EDGES, WITH NO ISSUES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. LOVELY LAMINATE, JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BACK IS AMAZINGLY CLEAN AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE, A VERY, VERY STRONG  :: EX .   

VINYL  ::  THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL, WITH NO STICKS, SKIPS, JUMPS, CRACKLE, POPS OR CLICKS, AND DUE TO HOW COLLECTABLE THIS MONO VINYL IS I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION .....

SIDE 1  ::  TRACK 1 ::  PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

ONE TICK BETWEEN TRACKS .

 TRACK 2 :: TWO FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END .

 TRACK 3 :: ONE SINGLE VERY FAINT TICK AT THE START .

 TRACK 4 :: ONE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

 TRACK 5 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A LONGER HAIRLINE ON SIDE 1, WHICH IS VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE ON TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, BUT AS THE VINYL IS PRESSED ON THICK VINYL, NO NASTY ISSUES AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!!! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX .

LABELS  ::  NICE AND CLEAN, JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE  ::  EX .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER :: NO SPLITS, JUST 'NPL 18220, WRITEN IN ONE TOP CORNER, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  ::  VG/EX- .
