The Cat. No is 613 008/9 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Matt' Track Labels (see picture) and is a Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels to BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. These records are NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is great to find that BOTH records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality itself is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear, and NO distortion either!!!!  BOTH records must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  A VERY VERY NICE SET OF RECORDS INDEED!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Date Coded' inner sleeves which are both in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press 'E.J.Day' FULLY Laminated 'Blue Text' Gatefold Cover is in GREAT condition - and is a very VERY decent cover indeed, with absolutely NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO edge splits, NO spinal wear (apart from 2 or 3 almost INVISIBLE 'touched in' traces!), NO spine splits, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), slight laminate dulling (with the expected light record impressions), only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  For some reason one opening edge has a slight overlap - and the other opening edge does not!!!!  My first thought was that someone might have trimmed one opening edge, but on closer examination - BOTH opening edges meet up together PERFECTLY, and there is laminate shrinkage to ALL opening edges!!!!  So clearly it must be a VERY minor manufacturing detail - which most people would never notice anyway!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
