Capture the quintessential sound of Manchester's finest with this 1965 UK Mono 1st pressing of the self-titled Hollies LP. This is an authentic first-run assembly, featuring the prized black and yellow Parlophone labels and the earliest -1/-1 matrix stamps. A notable detail for the serious Parlophone variant hunter is the KT tax code embossed on the side 2 label, confirming its mid-60s origin.

This album represents the band at a creative turning point, featuring the hit "Put Yourself In My Place" and showcasing the incredible three-part harmony work of Clarke, Hicks, and Nash. The record is housed in its original Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve, characterised by its high-gloss front lamination and classic 60s construction. Crucially, this copy remains complete with its original "Use Emitex" inner sleeve, a fragile component often lost or replaced over the decades.

While the vinyl shows some honest surface marks typical of a well-loved 60s pop record, it remains a playable copy that retains its original shine. To ensure the delicate flipbacks and laminated finish stay preserved, your order will be shipped in a custom-fitted, double-walled mailer. Free UK delivery is provided as standard with this purchase.
