THIS IS THE 2ND LABEL DESIGN WITH THE PINK RIM AND PALM TREE BUT THE VINYL IS VERY THICK INDEED AND THE LABELS HAVE THE "ROUGH TEXTURE" EFFECT.ILPS 9101-STEREO MIXES(THERE WERE NO MONO EDITIONS OF THIS LP).

THIS PRESSING IS FROM 1970-JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE DISCS 1ST PRESSING AT THE END OF 1969. IT'S THE BEST COPY I HAVE FOUND IN AGES AS A DEALER! 

THIS EXAMPLE DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!  THIS IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE HAS HAD CAREFUL USE IN 45+ YEARS.

ISSUED ON VERY THICK 100% FLAT VINYL.  LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1970 COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME MINIMAL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY,FAINT,WISPY HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! THE 1970 PRESSINGS HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE LATER  REPRESSINGS.  STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! THICK VINYL. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME SLIGHT EDGE AND SURFACE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,CREASES RIPS OR REPAIRS!  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS!

PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
