The record comes safely housed in its original, period-correct EMI advertising Type 12 Parlophone company sleeve, easily recognisable by its distinctive green sleeve with a white swirl around the centre hole. This historic paper cover remains in clean condition with just minor handling wear, proving the single sits in the exact housing it was sold in back in March 1968. The vinyl disc itself looks very clean, showing only a few minor surface marks that do not detract from a high-quality, crisp listening experience on your turntable, securing the item a strong VG+/VG+ condition rating.

For precise pressing verification, the runout grooves hold the original machine-stamped -3/-2 matrix numbers, reading 7XCE 18438-3 KT 5 OR for the A-side and 7XCE 18439-2 KT 8 LD for the flip side. Unlike other pressing variants from this run, this specific copy features the authentic KT tax code embossed directly into the paper of the Side 2 label, while the A-side label features a faint sticker mark that adds a touch of honest history to this catalogue number R 5675 release.

The iconic 1968 45-RPM release of The Beatles' "Lady Madonna" is presented here on a highly collectible original UK first pressing, paired with the legendary George Harrison composition "The Inner Light" on the B-side. Avid collectors will immediately spot the era-specific "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." rim text and the standard "SOLD IN U.K." label statement across the classic black and silver Parlophone 4-pronged centre. Tracking down well-kept, early 7-inch singles with their original green and white swirl advertising sleeves can be a real challenge, making this particular UK variant the perfect collectable for your analogue music setup.
