THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK MONO EARLY PRESSING. IT IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE AND IN MONO! WITH DISTINCT DIFFERENCES TO THE STEREO MIX MOST NOTICEABLE IN THE VOCALS. THIS IS HOW YOU'D HAVE HEARD IT ON PIRATE RADIO BACK IN THE 60'S. NOT MANY PEOPLE HAD STEREO IN THOSE DAYS. IT DEFINITELY HAS A DIFFERENT SOUND AND IS MIXED AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO BE. 

MONO WAS THE MAIN FORMAT OF THE DAY AND SO THOSE MIXES WERE DONE AT SEPARATE SESSIONS FOR EACH TRACK. MONO WAS WHERE ALL THE WORK AND TIME WENT AND THE STEREO MIX WAS PRETTY MUCH COBBLED TOGETHER AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. 

This LP is seriously RARE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND! PARTICULARLY WITH THE RARE ORIGINAL ORANGE LYRIC INSERT POSTER. A real piece of rock history! The vinyl has been played and is graded visually in very good plus / excellent minus condition with light hairlines and great shine on the vinyl. Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is over 56 years old that has been played and will not transform into anything different to the condition stated.

The Rare inner insert orange Lyric poster is in excellent condition with some creases.

The Black track labels are in excellent condition.
 

The Rare E.J.Day gatefold laminated cover is in excellent minus condition with corner wear and some lift on the lamination.

 

The spine is in excellent plus condition with corner wear.
 

Photos are of the actual item.

ITEM WILL BE POSTED FULLY INSURED.

  Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and sixty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.

Play-grading MONO records: Mono records and stereo records have different grooves. A stereo record produces a stereo sound via both lateral and vertical groove modulation whereas a mono record is not intended to produce any sound from vertical modulation. Playing a mono record with a stereo cartridge will create distortion because it is trying to pick-up the vertical (stereo) part of the signal, whereas this is not intended to be heard on a mono record and so is just noise.  Using a pre-amp with a mono switch will eliminate the noise caused by vertical modulation leaving just the lateral groove signal which is how the record was intended to be heard. If you do not have a mono switch on your amp or pre-amp you will be reproducing the noise from the vertical part of the signal and so the record will not sound as good. This is not any fault of the record, it is inherent to playing any mono record through a system that it was not designed for.   Guide to grades used
