Mono 1st pressings of this LP are incredibly rare and command much higher prices than the slightly more common Stereo 1st pressings.

Cover: 1st pressing E.J. DAY laminated gatefold sleeve. Has the Mono/Stereo text in the bottom right hand corner of the inside gatefold. The outer sleeve is excellent+ to near mint with no writings/doodles, no ringwear or seam splitting. Hardly any laminate creasing. Tiny amount of wear to the corners/spine. The inside of the gatefold has the trademark 1st pressing E J Day laminated  'flipbacks'  on both sides at the top and at the bottom. The inside is in fantastic physical condition but the previous owner has written a name and address inside between JH and Mitch Mitchell - see photo. Overall, one of the best covers I seen in many years.

Inner lyric sheet/poster: Excellent+. Complete with no seam splits - a tiny nick at the bottom - hardly noticeable. Has been folded in the past but these creases should be easy enough to iron out.

Vinyl: Thick first pressing vinyl. Looks under a strong light to be VG+ to Near Excellent. The vinyl has a nice glossy sheen. Both sides have some light hairlines and some light feathering - probably caused by removal from the inner sleeve prior to playing rather than from being played. This is a very nice copy of an extremely rare record that has been used but not abused. Certainly this is the best I have seen in many years.

Labels: Near Mint. Has the tell-tale 1st pressing raised rim around the label's circumference. Schroeder Music Publishing Co Ltd at the base of the label.
