No is SML 1079 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Deram label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, only VERY minor texturisation, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s 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, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 1 ULTRA light TINY surface trace, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  The record plays NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  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 absolutely SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'MacNeill' Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  This is one of the most fragile and easily worn covers EVER - and yet this one is still a very VERY decent example indeed!!!!  It has NO splits, only some VERY minor 'touching in' to the edges & spine, NO annotations, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), only 1 almost INVISIBLE and TINY number impression (this is an impression ONLY, definitely NOT actual writing, and only visible under angled lighting!) with a TINY touched in wear trace (this is almost INVISIBLE and very VERY small indeed!), NO structural splits or tears, only 1 small 'touched in' wear mark towards the top right (this is on the black part of the cover - so it is VERY unnoticeable and easy to overlook!), only VERY slight ringwear, barely ANY rubbing elsewhere AT ALL, and NO writing!!!!  And despite the few minor details I have just mentioned - as my pictures show, this is still a very VERY decent cover indeed, with the front picture looking SUPERB!!!!  This is one of the most FRAGILE covers in existence - and this one is definitely as good as, or even BETTER than most!!!!  There are also a couple of absolutely TINY repaired 'nicks' on the opening edge - though these are absolutely TINY, and VERY hard to spot!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, only VERY slight rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  And despite the few minor details on this cover (and they are MINOR!) most people here would EASILY grade this cover Very Good - as it is still very VERY presentable indeed (as my pictures clearly show!)!!!!  However I will grade very VERY strictly indeed (to avoid ANY disappointment!) and only grade this Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though I am certain most would grade higher still, and this cover is UNDOUBTEDLY still a very VERY presentable cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY WITH AN AMAZING BARELY PLAYED RECORD LIKE THIS ONE HAS!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
