THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN A VERY CLEAN LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER WITH THE EARLIEST"PATENTS PENDING"CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED.

FEATURING MANY OF THE GROUPS AMERICAN CHART HITS OF THE EARLY 1960s,DESPITE BEING POPULAR IN NIGHTCLUBS AND BY SELECTIVE DJs IN THE UK,THEY NEVER HAD ANY UK HITS UNTIL 1975!

A STAGGERING FACT WHEN THE TRIO INCLUDED THE GENIUS CURTIS MAYFIELD AND THIS ALBUM INCLUDES SUCH SONGS AS"PEOPLE GET READY"AND"IT'S ALL RIGHT" HAVE SINCE BEEN REGARDED AS CLASSICS RECORDED BY BOB MARLEY,ROD STEWART.

THIS LP WAS NOT A BIG SELLER AND PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE!

IT ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COPIES THAT SURVIVES!

MOST COPIES THAT WERE SOLD IN 1965 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED"LOOK!NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR!

A COPY THAT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED, OBVIOUSLY CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR BY ONE OWNER SINCE 1965! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS!

THE BEST MONO COPY I HAVE FOUND IN 25 YEARS AS A DEALER SPECIALISING IN 1960s RECORDS!

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK EDGES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. A REAL JOY FOR ANY 1960s MUSIC FAN!

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

THIS ISSUE FROM 1965 HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s ISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!

GREAT VOCALS WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS! GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
