This is the best copy of this that I have ever seen, and I am reluctant to let it go. To avoid it being sold too cheaply I am offering this with a reserve price. I'm also including a buy it now price. This is a truly fantastic example and I doubt that there are many like this out there. If it doesn't sell I will be happy to keep it.

Detailed grading
Vinyl side 1/side 2: NM/NM. Totally flat vinyl and no marks visible in bright natural daylight and just one or two very, very light marks under a strong halogen spotlight. I have played the album and can confirm that there is no noise to be heard other than very, very slight noise on the run ins and between tracks, if you are listening out for it. The audio is superb and crisp with no distortion and absolutely no playback problems. A lovely audio experience.
Labels side 1/side 2: NM/NM. Really crisp and clean with absolutely nothing to detract and just very feint spindle marking visible in bright light.
Sleeve: front/inner gatefold/back: Ex/Ex/Ex. A beautiful example. In the last two pictures I've tried to show how flat and shiny the sleeve still is. It has been protected in a rigid PVC sleeve (for gatefold LPs) ever since I've had it.
Edge wear: top/opening/opposite edge/spine/bottom none/none/none/none
Corner wear: minimal. Just some light corner wear noticeable, mainly at the top and bottom of the spine.
Inner sleeve: Ex. A lovely example which is really flat, clean and tear-free, with just a very small amount of creasing around the record shape and a small, neat 1 inch split in the bottom seam, where the vinyl has knifed it. The disk has been kept in a separate poly-lined inner ever since I've had it, so the original inner has hardly been used.
Other inserts: NM original dark green cutouts, has hardly ever been out of the sleeve.

Detracting features not covered above - None. I think it would be hard to find a better copy.

I have a 100% feedback rating because my records are always described accurately and fairly and graded based on the UK Record Collector grading system.  In most cases the highest grade I will give will be NM (near mint) and this will only be given to a record that is genuinely in NM condition. I will always point out any blemishes which might detract from the item or affect its grading. The photographs are of the actual item you will get.
