THIS IS A VERY RARE AND SORT AFTER (ESPECIALLY IN DECENT CONDITION) UK HOLLIES LP FROM 1967 IN EVEN RARER STEREO! AND EARLY STAMPERS 1G 1R ONE OF THE FIRST 600 PRESSED!! ALSO RETAINS IT'S LACK OF VISUAL GAPS BETWEEN TRACKS (LIKE SGT PEPPER) WHICH I BELEIVE ONLY THE EARLIEST COPIES HAD.

THIS LP SOLD POORLY ON RELEASE EVEN IN MONO,  BUT IN 1967 MONO'S STILL FAR OUTNUMBERED STEREO'S - DISPITE HEAVILY TRYING TO PLUG STEREO LP'S OVER MONO'S THE UK RECORD INDUSTRY IN 1969/70 FINALLY HAD TO JUST ABANDON MAKING ANY NEW RELEASES IN MONO TO FORCE RECORD BUYERS TO GET OVER THEIR IRRATIONAL CONCERNS OVER THEIR MONO EQUIPMENT BEING INCOMPATABLE WITH STEREO RECORDS.

SO THIS IS A RARE ITEM AND IN STEREO, AND IN LOVELY CONDITION TOO, JUST LOOK AT THAT UNLAMINTED SLEEVE REAR, I'LL DOUBT YOU WILL FIND MANY BETTER.....

Condition:-

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT, QUITE STUNNING, ONLY SOME CREASE PREVENTS A NEAR MINT GRADE, JUST LOOK AT THE UNLAMINATED REAR, THE PHOTOS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, THE LAMINATION ON THE FRONT IS TOTALY UNDULLED AND SHINES ALMOST AS IT MUST HAVE WHEN FIRST ISSUED! 

VINYL: SOME MOSTLY WHISPY HAIRLINES AND BAG REMOVAL MARKS, LIKE SGT PEPPER THE LACK OF VISUAL GAPS BETWEEN TRACKS MEANS THAT COPIES OF THIS LP CAN LOOK AWFUL, THIS DOES NOT AND RETAINS ITS SHINE, GRADES EX- 

A TRUE RARITY ESPECIALLY IN STEREO AND A NICE EXAMPLE AS WELL. GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!

 (Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….
