Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

Original, Very scarce 1967 BRITISH ( MONO MIXES )
laminated cover with the 1960's styled "FLAP-BACK" seams...
.......................................................... The Original 1967 "Regal Zonophone" MONO mixes Clean copies sell readily for three figure $-hundreds.
..........................................................

THE RARE and IN DEMAND MONO SONG MIXES on British "Regal Zonophone" 1967 ...containing a production punch, totally different from the stereo release  
......................................................................   Featuring the timeless classic "A Whiter Shade Of Pale"
Procol Harum's self-titled, first album was very successful in America, where albums sold easily, since it did include "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (unlike the original British issue) and highlighted by the just as great & timeless "Conquistador." The music is an engaging meld of psychedelic rock, blues, and classical influences, filled with phantasmagorical lyrics, bold (but not flashy) organ by Matthew Fisher, and Robin Trower's most tasteful and restrained guitar. "Conquistador," "Kaleidoscope," "A Christmas Camel," and the Bach-influenced "Repent Walpurgis" are superb tracks, and "Good Captain Clack" is great, almost Kinks-like groove. The album still holds up better than most psychedelic or progressive rock of the era, though too many fair-weather fans of the genre forget, or never heard it. Easily their best album, and the 1967 original BRITISH Regal Zonophone (MONO Mixes) ...

CONDITION:

The cover: rated: front laminated is VG(+) ...56 years ago seldom seen BRITISH (((mono))) cover w/ minor laminated crinkles per '60's UK/European covers ...contains '67 era old-style "back flap" seams that authenticates the original U.K.pressing. Back cover is VG++ surprisingly clean without rub-wear on the non-laminated back-cover, LOOK!  There are signs of prior use, nothing too extreme, light handling wear, 56 years UK MONO Original!  No delete marks, no split seams, and no writing  ...
The vinyl: Rated: VG played for sure, contains light hair scuffs and light hairlines... plays without skips or jumps, yet has sporadic audio surface crackle, light ticks and such, still enjoyable enough here, yet certainly not mint. Have kept for a number of years, fact of not being able to find a better MONO mixes UK Zonophone pressing. Quite rare, more-clean copies sell for $-hundreds.

Both (MONO) Regal Zonophone labels fairly clean, despite lots of lines around spindle hole ...
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
