The Five Faces Of Manfred Mann - Original 1964 US Ascot label 12-track Stereo LP

Rare original 1964 US Acot label 12-track stereo vinyl LP - featuring an altogether very different tracklisting compared to the 1964 UK original featuring the hits "Sha-La-La", "Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble" and "Come Tomorrow" - only a couple of tracks are identical with the UK issue.

Vinyl has the generic black company labels with silver printing and large fonted white lettering company name logo which has an LP instead of the 'o'. Labels has deep ridge 1 cm from labelrim.

vinyl is housed in back pasted full colour picture sleeve which has altogether artwork compared to the UK release.

Condition: VG++ (vinyl & labels)/VG++ (Cover):
The vinyl itself is very close to perfect - a single inaudible and superficial scuff in one trac is all - otherwise supershiny and flawless. Labels are in perfect condition.
Picture cover has a little front lower ringwear and some light marginal discolouration from sticker glue in the upper front right region - front is graded close to near perfect.
Back cover is remarkable clean with barely any signs of wear - seam are intact with just a hints of shelfwear - cover is easily graded close to perfect.
