No is JW 551 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Spot label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that 99% of the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, only a very VERY few brief surface sounds on 'Let The Good Times Roll' (though most of the track plays PERFECTLY!), NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and some background sound on the run on grooves & gaps (mainly due to the vinyl used on this VERY limited pressing!) - though this is lost WAY behind the music, with still plays VERY well indeed!!!!  And although the vinyl still looks BRILLIANT - if you look VERY closely under light, you can see that the grooves on 'Long Black Train' are slightly lighter in colour, and this track has some slight surface noise (still WELL in the background though!) on playback!!!!  But just ask yourself - when are you EVER lightly to EVER see this record again????  The answer is virtually NEVER!!!!  The record must visually grade Very Good+ if not better (and still looks VERY bright and shiny!) - with the playing grade slightly less than this (as clearly described above!)!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST UK ELECTRIC BLUES LPs EVER MADE - AND THE CHANCES OF SEEING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO (AS ONLY 200-300 COPIES WERE EVER MADE!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
