Blues Helping - Original UK Issue

Rare original 1968 UK Parlophone Records debut 11-track vinyl LP from Welsh blues-rock band led by Dave Edmunds.

Vinyl has the generic black company labels with upper large fonted yellow company name and circular '£' logo - otherwise silver printing and KT tax code around centre hole.

Vinyl has machine staped matrix information:

Side 1: YEX 701-2, mother/stamper 1 A
Side 2: YEX 702-2, mother/stamper 1 O

stressing that this copy is manufactured from the 2nd master tape - we have never seen a 701-1 copy - from the first mother and early set of stampers.

Vinyl is housed in a two-piece flipback Garrod & Lofthoused manufactured 'patents pending' picture cover laminated on front and the three extention flaps glued on top of back cover.

Vinyl is in close to perfect condition with a single - maybe two - superlight and inaudible marks and light sleeve scuffing otheriwse only - beautifully lustrous.
