THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS EASILY THE RAREST LP ON THE PAGE ONE LABEL (AND ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST UK PSYCH LPs EVER MADE!) - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE TODAY - AS BARELY ANY ARE LEFT IN EXISTENCE (PROBABLY LESS THAN 100 COPIES!)!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! AND ALTHOUGH THE VINYL ISNT VISUALLY PERFECT - IT STILL PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED, AND IS VERY BRIGHT & SHINY LOOKING!!!! AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER COPY OF THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY ZERO - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE COVER IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESSING ON 1ST PRESS 'TEXTURED' PAGE ONE LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 'MACHINE STAMPED' MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK 'TEXTURED' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Page One UK 1st Pressing from 1969 and is SERIOUSLY rare in EVERY respect!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is POLS 016 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Page One label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is still VERY bright & shiny looking and plays WELL!!!! 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 nasty concentric marks (there are NO jumps and NO sticks AT ALL!), 5 or 6 careless lateral hairline type marks on 1 side (these are visible - but are mostly ignored), 1 visible careless scuffline / mark on the other side (again this is visible), only a few VERY light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! But despite this LP not being visually perfect - just ask yourself the question? When will you EVER see another one!!!! THE RECORD IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND SHINY LOOKING INDEED!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY (if not BETTER!) as the visual with NO skips, a few light clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! And I just listened to the record END TO END just now - and I enjoyed every minute of it!!!! The music is still UNDISTORTED and even with the few light clicks here and there (which do not distract and are nearly ALL very VERY low level indeed!) this LP sounds BRILLIANT!!!! And despite most people putting a Good grading on this LP - I will MEGA STRICTLY grade this record Fair+ if not better (to avoid ANY disappointment!) - though the playing grade is even better still and is definitely a GREAT listen!!!! So essentially despite the few marks/lines - you have a VERY bright & shiny record that plays WELL!!!! AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST UK PSYCH LPs EVER RELEASED!!!! AND WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES EVER BEING MADE - THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN IS VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!! So think very VERY carefully indeed before passing on it - as you geniunely may not see another one for years!!!! 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 record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback 'Textured' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO splits, only some almost INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces to the VERY edges, barely ANY spinal wear AT ALL, NO sticker marks, barely ANY rubbing, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO sticker tears, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, only 2 or 3 TINY 'age spots', NO rubbing, only 2 or 3 TINY stain traces on the flipbacks (these are MEGA faint!), NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS ONE OF THE RAREST PSYCH LPs EVER RELEASED - AND ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT LPs ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY!!!! IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.
MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
