The Cat. No is CS 8108 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press MGM label see picture and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing there were NO Monos

The record labels see pictures have NO writing, NO stickers, NO tears, and some wear around the centre holes indicating that this record has been played a few times The vinyl is still VERY bright shiny looking indeed - and still plays through FINE - with NO sticks and NO jumps AT ALL However, although 1 side is VERY nice indeed and would easily grade Very Good if not better the other side does have a few visible lines / marks. That said, it still plays through with NO sticks, NO jumps, only a few VERY light clicks though mostly NONE , barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some typical audible background sound on the run on grooves gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL The actual sound quality itself is simply SUPERB - with NO groovewear NO distortion either So with this record playing through FINE, with NO sticks and NO jumps AT ALL, one side of the record visually grading Fair, and the other side grading Very Good if not better - I think an overall grading of Good is appropriate. And despite the visual lines on 1 side - this record is VERY RARE INDEED, is still VERY bright and shiny looking, and plays through FINE with the audible background sound as detailed above , with NO jumps and NO sticks AT ALL 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition The ORIGINAL 1st Press Garrod Lofthouse Flipback Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear NOT through the colour , NO rips, NO tears, only a few light creases cover is VERY flat looking , NO splits, 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 GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO yellowing, a few light creases to the flipbacks, NO sticker marks, and NO writing The cover must grade Very Good PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY

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
