Stunning first album from The Pretty Things, a raucous monster of a rhythm and blues album from 1965 - punk blues 10 years early. This is a UK first pressing and has plenty to commend it. 

The sleeve has been taped at the top edge and has survived in solid VG shape with a decent readable spine - just general wear and tear. 

The vinyl has marks and hairlines but no major feelable scratches - it plays through well and sounds great with a little surface noise here and there. Grades VG+ at least. 

Lined period inner sleeve in VG+ to excellent condition. 

Excellent black and silver Fontana labels. 

Great album.
