I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THIS LP FOR SOMETIME, PERHAPS HOPING THAT A COVER MAY TURN UP.  HOWEVER, AS THIS RECORD IS IN SUCH AMAZING CONDITION, AND IT IS VERY UNLIKELY TO FIND A COVER WORTHY OF THIS RECORD - I HAVE DECIDED TO LIST IT, WITH THE 'FACTORY' ARCHIVE LIBRARY COVER IT WAS FOUND IN!!!!  THE COVER HAS 2 OR 3 'DECCA' STICKERS ON IT, AND IS HEAVILY CONSTRUCTED AND ALMOST CERTAINLY FROM THIS FACTORY AT THE TIME THIS LP WAS MADE!!!!  THE RECORD HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIXES, AND THE SECOND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/B 1/U MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS - WHICH CERTAINLY VERIFIES THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE 'SAMPLE RECORD' STICKER ON THE LABEL!!!!  I WOULD SUGGEST HOWEVER, THAT THE ANNOTATIONS (NAME, TITLE, CAT NUMBER, DATE) IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE COVER BACK - WAS DONE AT THE RECORD LIBRARY FOR REFERENCE, AND NOT AT THE FACTORY!!!!  IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT 'TEST PRESSINGS' ALWAYS CAME IN THESE KIND OF SLEEVES, AND ALMOST CERTAINLY IN THIS CASE - THE FACTORY HAD RUN OUT OF 'TEST PRESSINGS' AND SENT THE ARCHIVE RECORD LIBRARY, A 'STICKERED' FACTORY SAMPLE COPY INSTEAD!!!!  THIS LP IS CLEARLY UNIQUE LIKE THIS - AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE, ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only 1 TINY spindle trace to either label!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.  This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
