Horizontal - Original 1968 UK Polydor label 12-track Stereo LP

Scarce original 1968 UK Polydor label 12-track LP - Australian harmony pop trios fourth studio album - the second to receive an international release - featuring the singles 'Massachusetts', 'World' and 'And the Sun Will Shine'.

Vinyl has the generic red company labels with top 'half album' logo just above large fonted company name in white.

Vinyl has machine stamped matric information:
Side 1: 583020 A//1V420 1 3 1
Side 2: 583020 B//1V420
placing this as a 1st pressing.

Vinyl is house in an era specific generic polylined company inner sleeve - ultimately in a MacNeil
Press picture cover laminated on front and over the spine.

Condition: M- (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is in absolute stunning condition - still statically clinging to the inner sleeve when taken out and absolutely free from any sign of handling or play. Labels are likewise mint.

Front has crisp and clean laminate except for just a touch of wrinkling from edges or along opening - back has faint upper and lower ringwear, but otherwise only a mildly bend lower opening corner and a light crease in the same area. Seams are firm, straight and intact except for a couple of mm's against lower opning - corners are all sharp and without wear - cover is graded close to near perfect/excellent - a simply more than decent copy - nice.
