If you are looking to get your hands on a really tidy copy of this summer-of-love anthem, this 1976 UK pressing is a brilliant choice. Put out by Parlophone under catalogue number R 5620 as part of The Singles Collection 1962-1970, this 7" single features the smart black and silver label design with the essential 'EMI RECORDS LTD' rim text. Helpfully, the traditional 4-pronged push-out centre is completely intact on this copy. For the collectors tracking the dead wax details, this one carries the stamped -3/-3 matrix configuration, showing 7XCE 18425-3 1 G on Side A and 7XCE 18426-3 1 G on the flip.

We have given this copy a very fair VG+/EX condition grade. The original green flipback card picture sleeve is still nice and solid, though it has got a couple of light creases on the front cover from standard handling over the years. Turning to the vinyl, the wax itself is in Excellent, beautifully clean shape and retains a great factory shine. On your deck, it sits flat and tracks smoothly, offering a crisp, warm analogue playback that lets the massive horn sections and rich studio production ring out clearly without any nasty underlying background noise.

It is a fantastic, honest 1970s reissue to add to your shelf, serving up the legendary "All You Need Is Love" on the A-side and the brilliant psych-pop B-side "Baby, You're A Rich Man" on the reverse. If you are looking to fill a gap in your UK Parlophone singles collection with a copy that looks great and plays beautifully, you will be very pleased with this one.
