1st pressing with black & silver label!

 

Laminated flipback sleeve printed by Garrod & Lofthouse, date code of 6911 (November 1969).
1st pressing black and silver label with “MADE IN GT. BRITAIN BY THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.”

 

The cover is in excellent condition with no seam splits and an almost perfect spine. The vinyl is in a lovely condition, with just two very short clicks at the start of Side 1. I can see no visible mark which might cause this; it might just be a flaw in the original pressing.
