MATRIX: SRX 3203 - 1N / SRX 3204 - 1N
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/G and 1/G (earliest mothers and stampers, in the batch of the first 300 pressed, maybe even the very first copy ever made)
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending" DATE CODED '6411' (1964, November)
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE

Track Listing:
Side One: THE MAN IN YOU / SUCH IS LOVE, SUCH IS LIFE / I CAN TAKE A HINT / HEARTBREAK ROAD / YOUR LOVE / HE DON'T CARE ABOUT ME
Side Two: SPEAK LOW / I'VE BEEN GOOD TO YOU / IF YOUR MOTHER ONLY KNEW / WON'T YOU TAKE ME BACK / A LOVE THAT CAN NEVER BE / ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

LABELS: The labels are clean, fresh and unmarked with no spindles or signs of use - MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen with some superficial light hairlines but there are no scratches or other marks - NEAR MINT
VINYL Audio: Outstanding MONO cut with a crystal clear, clean, strong and fresh sound and on playback at a loud volume there are no audio issues of note - just the occasional light 'pop'- but nothing ever intrusive otherwise, it plays beautifully and cleanly throughout (there is no surface noise) to an extremely high standard with no groove-wear or distortion (it's possibly never been played) and is critically graded NEAR MINT for sound quality - a truly exceptional copy of this incredibly rare LP
SLEEVE: The 1st issue front laminated G&L flipback sleeve is also in lovely condition with a deep, glass-like gloss to the front laminated surface (no rubbing) and a clean, unmarked back. The top corner of the flipback has a crease (please see close-up photos) but otherwise, a beautifully preserved (and incredibly clean) example with crisp, sharp, unworn edges - EXCELLENT++

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: EUROPE & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I try to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks 420 (GS 6.0.8 (420))
