The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is IMSP 012 on the Lilac/Grey 1st Press Immediate STEREO label (see picture) and is a UK STEREO 1968 'earliest' 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Small Faces at their best!!!! Any fan of Small Faces, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! There is also a VERY faint thin area of wear above one centre hole (see pictures) - but this is NOT a deep sticker tear and barely touches the surface of the label - and of course due to the colour of the labels it is NOT immediately obvious.  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, 1 NON sounding hairline type mark, a VERY few light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs visible under light!!!! The only other thing to mention - is that the record has a strange 'shine' ONLY when viewed under absolute EXTREME light - though I dont know what could have caused this?  Maybe storage?  Or maybe the record has been cleaned at some point? I honestly dont know - but in any case it doesnt affect the look of this GREAT looking record (except under absolute EXTREME light) - and I doubt whether anyone else would have bothered to mention it!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO nasty loud pops, only a VERY few light clicks/pops in a VERY few places (NO nasty loud 'snaps' or loud 'pops'), NO sticking, NO jumps, NO distortion, NO groovewear, NO hiss, and only some slight background crackle in places (though this is always low level)!!!!  The record must grade Very Good+!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The MEGA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press STUNNINGLY designed Garrod & Lofthouse Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, ALL the circles are perfectly joined (NO splits, and NO tape), barely ANY creases (beautiful flat cover), NO rubbing and NO writing!!!! There is NO yellowing, and NO grubbyness!!!! IT IS INCREDIBLY RARE TO FIND A GENIUNE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS COVER IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  The cover MUST grade Very Good++++ if not Excellent(Minus)!!!! THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A GENIUNE 1968 'EARLIEST' STEREO 1ST PRESSING AND IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND ONE WITH A COVER IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE RECORD PLAYS VERY WELL - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
