Description
First pressing with original true mono only mix ( later monos had a different mix that was based on the stereo version). The first pressing can be identified by the fact that there is no gap between grooves in 'she's a rainbow' and on the intro to 'the lantern' there are 3 chimes of the church bell (later versions had 2). See the excellent stonesondecca site for info.
The sleeve is the darker blue first issue.
Matrix nos are;
ARL 8126 - 1P
ARL 8127 - P1
The vinyl is visually (under a spotlight) in VG+ condition and plays EX. There are a few very light marks, nothing bad or feelable, and it plays absolutely fine with beautifully clear and crisp mono sound. There's a little crackle audible in a few of the quiet moments / between some (not all) of the tracks, but it's nothing obtrusive and it's not persistent. There are no repetitive clicks, no pops, no sticking and no jumps. Overall it's a most enjoyable listen.
Clean labels with no hand writing and typical spindle traces.
The gatefold '3D' sleeve is in VG condition with some wear to edges, spine and corners of front flap but no splits, tears or handwriting. There is a small crease front top right. Inside the gatefold is excellent. please see photos.
The original red inner sleeve has a split in the middle of one side but no rips/tears. I will post in a different inner to prevent further splitting.
------------------
Gradings, when used, refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard. I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening.
