IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' STEREO PRESSINGS OF THIS LP EVER MADE - AS IT HAS AN INCREDIBLY EARLY 'DM 8/4' PRINTING ON THE INNER SLEEVE!!!!  THIS LP FIRST ENTERED THE UK CHARTS IN MID JULY 1964 - AND REMAINED POPULAR THROUGHOUT THE 1960s.  AS A RESULT MOST COPIES USUALLY DATE FROM MUCH LATER ON - USUALLY IN THE LATE 1960s!!!!  HOWEVER, THIS ONE HAS 'DM 8/4' PRINTED ON THE INNER SLEEVE - WHICH STANDS FOR 'DATE MARK 8/1964' (OR AUGUST 1964!).  SO ALTHOUGH THIS COPY WASNT BOUGHT ON THE 'DAY OF RELEASE', IT IS A VERY EARLY PRESSING INDEED, BEING PURCHASED IN AUGUST 1964 - ONLY 1 MONTH AFTER THIS LP HAD ENTERED THE UK CHARTS!!!!  IT ALSO HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1Y/1 2Y/1 MATRIX ENDINGS - WHICH ALL LATER COPIES SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE, AND HAS AN UNCREDITED COVER (ALL LATER COPIES HAD A MANUFACTURERS CREDIT ADDED!)!!!!  SO IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' STEREO 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN IN THIS BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED THAT MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'TEXTURED' 1ST PRESS CBS LABEL, 1ST PRESS1Y/1 2Y/1 MATRIX ENDINGS,  1ST PRESS '33' LABEL TEXT, 1ST PRESS 'THICKER' CBS LOGO, 1ST PRESS '8/4' DATE MARKED INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS FLIPBACK 'UNCREDITED' LAMINATED 'STEREO' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL CBS UK 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat.

This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, only some absolutely ULTRA faint and almost INVISIBLE 'bag sweat' traces, 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 SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT 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 'DM 8/4' Date Coded 'Foreign Patents Pending' Poly Lined inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Flipback UNCREDITED Laminated STEREO Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to a couple of the corner tips, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only some almost INVISIBLE stain traces to the bottom flipback, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE STEREO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!

PLEASE NOTE - I may be called in for an operation on Monday should the opening arise.  If so, there maybe a slight delay of sending of up to a week (but clearly it is likely to be far shorter as recovery times are thankfully quicker in this day and age).  Of course, I will still be contactable even in the hospital bed.  I will also schedule more auctions in advance anyway, so there will still be something to look at next week!
