The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!

AWESOME RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!!  The 1st Press Gatefold 'Textured' Cover is in SUPERB condition overall - and even with a VERY minor defect I will mention slightly further on - it is absolutely MILES better than almost ANY other GENIUNE 1st Press cover that turns up!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, NO rubbing, and NO yellowing!!!!  The only INCREDIBLY minor thing to mention is a very VERY light and very VERY unnoticeable sticker removal trace (NOT through the colour) in the top right corner of the cover front - though take a look at the pictures!!!!  It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to notice!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! IT REALLY IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESS COVER IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A GENIUNE 1970 1ST PRESSING (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
