AND THIS DOUBLE LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT HAS A TRULY AWESOME SET OF 1ST PRESS DISCS, WHICH LOOK AND PLAY AMAZINGLY (THE BEST I HAVE SEEN FOR MANY YEARS!)!!!!

AND OF COURSE, THERE IS THE ENDLESS DEBATE ABOUT BLUE TEXT AND WHITE TEXT COVERS.  UP UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO, EVERYONE THOUGHT THE 'BLUE TEXT' COVERS WERE THE FIRST COVERS UNTIL SOMEONE IN THE U.S. CAME UP WITH A VERY LOGICAL REASON WHY THEY WERENT.  AND IT IS VERY SIMPLE.  THE 'BLUE TEXT' COVERS AS EVERYONE NOW KNOWS, WASNT HOW THE COVER WAS INTENDED TO LOOK AT ALL.  THEY WERE ORIGINALLY PRINTED IN WHITE TEXT, HOWEVER, DUE TO THE CHANGE OF THE RUNNING ORDER ON THE DISCS - THEY HAD TO BE 'OVERPRINTED' IN BLUE TEXT TO CORRECT THE RUNNING ORDER!!!!  THIS IS OFTEN SEEN ON 'BLUE TEXT' COVERS WITH THE ORIGINAL WHITE PRINT TRACKLISTING SHOWING THROUGH UNDERNEATH.  HOWEVER WHILST THESE COVERS WERE ALL BEING CORRECTED, CLEARLY THE PRODUCTION LINE DIDNT JUST STOP!!!!  SO I AM DEFINITELY OF THE VIEW, THAT WHILST THE 'BLUE TEXT' COVERS WERE BEING RE-FINISHED AND CORRECTED, THE CORRECT 'WHITE PRINT' COVERS WERE BEING PRINTED AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME!!!!  AND CERTAINLY THIS IS VERY MUCH BORNE OUT BY THIS DOUBLE LP.  IT WAS CLEARLY BOUGHT THE DAY IT CAME OUT, HAS 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES & 1ST PRESS LABELS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY 1ST PRESS '10/8' (OCTOBER 1968) DATE CODED INNER SLEEVES!!!!  SO THIS DOUBLE LP IS ABSOLUTELY UNDOUBTEDLY A 'DAY OF RELEASE' 1ST PRESSING - AND YOU SIMPLY CANNOT GET ANY 'EARLIER' THAN THIS!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS TRACK LABELS, 1ST PRESS 'UPSIDE DOWN' MATRIXES ON THE LABELS, 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS '10/8' DATE CODED INNER SLEEVES, AND 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' FULLY LAMINATED 'WHITE TEXT' GATEFOLD COVER!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Track UK 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl.
