The Sleeve

The Gorgeous David King & Roger Law designed - ORIGINAL E.J. DAY FLIPBACK GATEFOLD SLEEVE is in STUNNING CONDITION!!! The flip-backs are PERFECT, beautiful and tight with NO unsticking, NO folding back, NO peeling and only the occasional very fine hairline creases in the flipback laminate (I am being very fussy here-but like I said I want to give as honest a description as possible). The famous psychedelic E.J. Day Gatefold outer still has ALL ITS ORIGINAL GLOSSY LAMINATED FEEL with just a few of the most miniscule laminate cracks around the edges.  Most of us have seen pictures and images of this legendary sleeve but I CANNOT STRESS HOW AMAZINGLY COOL LOOKING THIS SLEEVE IS WHEN YOU ACTUALLY GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TO ONE IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  With cool vintage laminate and the infamous psychedelic picture - IT IS AWESOME!!! The sleeve has NO major creases and lies perfectly FLAT with NO RING WEAR and a good strong spine, which is N.MINT with NONE of the laminate cracking which is common with this albumf. It has only the most miniscule edge wear and corner wear.  The back side is also in awesome condition, it still retains ALL its glossy laminate sheen both back AND front and is completely unblemished. The matt inner gatefold is also in on STUNNING condition, absolutely beautiful with the laminate flip-backs forming an awesome contrast with the inner matt finish.  It has the Important 612003 Mono/Stereo text in the bottom right flip-back. with NO BLEMISHES  The record comes COMPLETE with its POLY-LINED WINDOWED INNER SLEEVE which is also in awesome shape, lying nice and flat with no nasty creases at all.

The Insert

I cannot stress how rare it is to find one of these LP's with its original insert, let alone in this kind of condition, it is superb un-torn condition and has no major creases, NO pin holes and no scribbles or blemishes etc. It has some miner mottled-type creasing, but nothing serious at all, and easily grades as EX Condition. Only a few hundred of these inserts were ever made to accompany the LP. I have only seen a handful of these inserts in my life, and this is by far one the best, most are missing or trashed.

The Vinyl

No we get on to the CHUNKY, QUALITY THICK PRESSED 1960's vinyl itself and what can I say! IT IS IN STUNNING CONDITION!  IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY AND SHINES AS IF IT WAS MADE YESTERDAY, with NO hissing, NO sticking, NO skipping and NO jumping. It is EX both sides, with a beautiful glossy shine and NO ring-wear!!!! The all important Track Record centre labels are both mint with no marks or scratches or tears etc as are the gramophone rims with the important 1st press matrixs.

Not much else to say really except don't miss this one as you will NEVER FIND ANOTHER COPY OF THIS AWESOME AND VERY RARE LP IN THIS CONDITION AGAIN. THESE RECORDS - IN THIS CONDITION AND COMPLETE WITH THE MEGA RARE LYRIC/POSTER INSERT - ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET HOLD OF NOWADAYS. THIS RECORD IS RIGHTLY KNOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST PSYCHEDELIC ROCK ALBUMS EVER MADE, IF NOT THE BEST!!!! AND AN EX/EX+ COMPLETE 1ST UK PRESSING IS A VERY SERIOUS INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE, DON'T MISS OUT!
