This superb UK mono pressing of their 2nd studio album dates from February 1969, but uses original 1965 labels.

It is on the un-grooved red & silver Decca label: LK.4661

Matrix numbers: XARL-6619-1A & XARL-6620-2A

Stamper codes: 1/HG & 2B/HI

Vinyl weight: 152g

Housed in a front laminated 'Printed in England' cover, which has the 'censored' pasted-over rear panel.

This paste-over occurred because the original text caused offense, chiefly to the blind. The original back cover included this passage:

"If you don’t have the bread, see that blind man knock him on the head, steel his wallet and low and behold you have loot, if you put in the boot, good, another one sold!"

Decca was forced to change the text, omitting that section and, not wanting to waste already printed covered, pasted a revised slick over the top of the original - as can be seen above. The offensive text was removed permanently from later editions.

Complete with original poly-lined inner-sleeve, date coded as '2-69' (February 1969).

Essentially 'shop new' with just a small bruise to the lower left corner preventing a higher grade.

As good as these get.
