BEFORE YOU SEE ANOTHER ONE!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT MAKES THIS LP SO AMAZINGLY RARE!!!!  THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1965 ON THE UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL AND WAS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE 1960s BEFORE EVENTUALLY BEING DELETED EARLY IN 1970.  MOST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP (THE MOST COMMON!) WERE MADE ON THE UNBOXED 'GROOVED' DECCA LABEL BETWEEN 1964 & EARLY 1968.  THEN IN MID 1968 DECCA DROPPED THE 'GROOVE' ON THEIR LABELS (THOUGH THEY STILL HAD THE 'UNBOXED' DECCA LOGO!) AND THIS 'UNBOXED' DECCA LABEL (WITH NO 'GROOVE'!) LASTED BETWEEN MID 1968 & DECEMBER 1969.  HOWEVER THEN CAME THE RAREST PRESSING OF ALL (THIS ONE!), AND ONLY LASTED A MATTER OF MONTHS ONLY!!!!  THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE JANUARY 1970 'BOXED' DECCA LABEL PRESSING AND WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS JUST BEFORE THIS LP WAS DELETED FOREVER!!!!  AND AS THIS LP WAS DELETED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS - THIS PRESSING ONLY EVER LASTED A MATTER OF WEEKS ONLY, AND ONLY 1 BATCH (NO MORE THAN 500 COPIES!) WERE EVER MADE!!!!  AND WHEREAS ALL PREVIOUS PRESSINGS LASTED A NUMBER OF YEARS - THIS PRESSING ONLY LASTED A MATTER OF WEEKS ONLY - AND IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE!!!!  IN FACT - I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE - EVER!!!!  IT IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, AT LEAST 30 TIMES RARER THAN THE COMMON 'UNBOXED' DECCA VERSIONS - AND UNLIKE OTHER TITLES ON THE DECCA BACK CATALOGUE, IT WAS NEVER RE-PRESSED EVER AGAIN AFTER 1970!!!!   IT ALSO STILL HAS 1ST PRESS MONO MATRIXES (ENDING IN 1A/1A!) AND A 1ST PRESS 'CLOUT & BAKER' LAMINATED MONO COVER!!!!  SO MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT!!!!  THIS IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THE RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE - AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN (ESPECIALLY IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION!) - ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!   

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION!!!!  AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL AND IS IN AMAZING CONDITION, THE INNER SLEEVE IS SIMPLY STUNNING, AND THE ORIGINAL LAMINATED MONO COVER IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 'RAREST EVER' 1970 UK MONO PRESSING ON THE IMPOSSIBLY RARE 'BOXED' DECCA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1A/1A MATRIX ENDINGS, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'CLOUT & BAKER' LAMINATED MONO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Decca UK MONO Pressing from 1970 and is in AMAZING condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is LK 4649 on the ORIGINAL Decca Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO Pressing!!!!  

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AMAZING 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, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME 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 record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, 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 inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Clout & Baker' Laminated MONO Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), STUNNING shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
