If you opened the page I think you know how rare this is, regularly selling at auction for around 250AUD, recently one in excess of 300AUD.(see completed item No. 140237608307  6th june08) The valuation guides say a bit more than that for retail.

I have supplied 6 supersize photo's of various aspects hopefully so you can assess for yourself the high quality condition of this rare LP.

There are NO visible scratches or scuffs.

Yes there are spasmodic pops as per all vinyl (especially as it is  over forty years old), but nothing  repetitive. There are no rotational spindle marks on the label.

Record came to me obviously cared for and I would think very infrequently played. However I HAVE  wet washed it  it twice with a record cleaner, then treated with LAST "power cleaner" and LAST "record preservative" (said to protect from playing wear for upto 200 'plays'). Most audiophiles such as yourselves are probably already using this or similar, I have just saved you the time and expense.

The cover is fantastic, it pretty much looks like it just came out of the factory. ALL seams are clean and no signs of splitting. No obvious corner damage or bends, its a little BEEAAUUTY !! as we would say in OZ. (the 300 dollar sale earlier this month had obvious ring wear in the picture, no such problem with this cover.)

The reverse is clean. The plain card of the reverse shows very little sign of yellowing as these old white card sleeves from the sixties can do.

The original EMI inner sleeve has  some wrinkles from living inside the cover but is otherwise good.  However just having cleaned it so well, I am supplying a more modern archive quality sleeve with anti stat and no scratching properties.  This is from the modern audiophile company Mobile Fidelity (MFSL) and is standard issue with their vinyl pressings.
