Their second and last album on Decca and it's wonderful!..

Bridging the gap between soul influenced mod stuff and the nascent beginnings of British psychedelia..

The production is up front with clear definition on all instruments and the sound quality is SUPERB!..

Best of all,this plays EX+++

Issued on Decca in 1967..LK 4879..UK pressing in MONO..It still has it's original Decca inner bag..

The matrix numbers are:XARL 7881 7B and XARL 7882 7A..The mothers/stampers are 1B/1B....

Play grade is easily EX+++..The sound quality is bright,clean and undistorted,just bursting out of the speakers!..I noted NO pops or clicks on either side..Or crackle for that matter!..

Beautiful sound quality!..

The disc plays flat on the turntable with no edge warps and there are no skips or jumps.....

Visually,the disc looks EX ++..It's very clean!..A couple of tiny hairlines is all..There are NO nasty scratches,scuffs or other marks..It's still got a real nice sheen as well..

 The sleeve (front laminated ) grades as EX..The laminated front is VERY clean with just a hint of discshape and a little cracking to the laminate along the edges..The corners are square and the spine (crimped top and bottom) is undamaged..The non laminated back has some expected age yellowing and light discshape..

Otherwise a tidy sleeve...I did 2 sets of sleeve pictures as my scanner seems to like putting everything a bit yellower than it actually is!.

There are no seam splits,rips, tears, scribble,stains,sellotape or tape marks and all of the text on the spine is clearly legible..

The labels are undamaged with clearly legible text but there is visible spindle wear..This has obviously had regular but careful play...

UK buyers are welcome to collect this in person or collect it from The Southend Record Fair (12th February.)..where there are LOADS of great albums and singles offered for sale...NEW VENUE for this fair is West Leigh Schools on the A13..SS9 2JB..
