Released in 1966, I am offering here this hard to find first UK MONO pressing on the rainbow rim CAPITOL label of this superb iconic album by the THE BEACH BOYS  titled "PET SOUNDS ". This album is regarded by most as their best album and contains some great tracks including GOD ONLY KNOWS which was covered by Bowie and the single WOULDN'T IT BE NICE. The vinyl shows bag rash on one side but this is cosmetic as the album plays through with mostly excellent audio.

The album comes complete with its original Garrod & Lofthouse patents pending front laminated flip back single sleeve which is in very clean excellent condition. This is a nice example, it has no splits, tears, staining or unwanted writing etc but the front panel shows a few small laminate creases.

I have just played this through for these listing purposes and it plays through well. Needless to say absolutely no sticks or skips etc . Overall a mostly excellent playing example of this iconic classic which contains some great tracks. Not easy to find as a MONO original.

AS NORMAN WISDOM SAID THIS IS AN ALBUM THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR COLLECTION.

The VINYL, The Vinyl visually shows some light scuffs and has bag rash on one side. Audibly, I have just played it through and can state that it plays well with absolutely no nasty sticks or skips etc overall a mostly excellent playing example. 

The SLEEVE, The patents pending front laminated single sleeve is in very clean excellent condition with fully legible spine text. Whiter than most.

The LABELS, The first issue CAPITOL labels are very clean. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc.

The INNER, The Emitex inner sleeve is clean and free from unwanted writing or splits etc.

I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me, But I can only refund one lot of postage.
