This is the ORIGINAL Track UK 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 613 013/4 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Matt' Track Labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!
The record labels on BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl to BOTH records are in excellent condition!!!!
Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!
BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!! It is great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The records must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!
The ORIGINAL 1st Press NUMBERED (39648) Booklet (see picture) is SUPERB condition - with NO rips, NO tears, NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO splits, NO loose pages, and NO damage AT ALL!!!! AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB BOOKLET!!!!
The ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Triple Gatefold Laminated 'Patents Pending' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, shiny laminate, NO splits, only some VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO annotations, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO pinholes, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges & fold-out edges are still nice and straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, only 1 crease on 1 fold-out, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!
THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY WITH A NUMBER LIKE THIS ONE HAS!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
It really is an excellent looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
Good luck!!!
