THE INNER IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING,STAINING OR REPAIRS! JUST A FEW CREASES.

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS THE STEREO NUMBER PRINTED IN ERROR-PROBABLY AS HARDLY ANY MONO COPIES WERE MADE! MOST BUYERS OPTED FOR THE STEREO VERSION IN 1969.PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS ON THIS LP PRESSED ON HIGH QUALITY,THICK,100% FLAT VINYL!  LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL 1969 MONO EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON OLDER EQUIPMENT CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR.

LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

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!!!!
