Description:

Original UK 1966 stereo first pressing of Fifth Dimension by The Byrds released on CBS.

This copy carries the original textured CBS stereo labels associated with the earliest UK pressing along with early A1/B1 matrices.

The vinyl visually grades a strong VG+ with a few light surface marks visible under bright light, though playback remains particularly strong overall with punchy clean stereo audio grading Excellent during careful play testing.

There is only a faint trace of crackle audible during the intro section before disappearing completely. Labels remain especially clean with only very light spindle wear visible, suggesting relatively careful use over the years.

The original Dawson Rossiter sleeve grades a strong VG+ overall with very clean presentation. There is only slight wear/damage to the lower rear flipback flap and otherwise just light signs of careful storage/handling.

Importantly, this copy still retains the original CBS company paper inner sleeve.

Carefully cleaned and fully play tested prior to listing. Vinyl also checked carefully for warping and dishing. This copy remains very flat.
