Vinyl Condition: Mint- (Looks Unplayed!)The Vinyl on both playing surfaces appear totally as 'New' in strong daylight both sides are Stunning and Flawless and visually vinyl looks UNPLAYED and are completely free from any suface marks or wear/blemishes totally UNMARKED on even closer examination under a strong halogen bulb it's very hard to find or detect any marks at all on this exceptional near perfect vinyl disc  If I'm going to be over critical and you look hard enough it only just about reveals nothing more than some insignificant very few and very feint mild wispy inner sleeve removal traces that absolutely dosen't effect the virtually Perfect Audio Playback - The vinyl still retains it's original factory pressed look with jet black shiny gloss sheen and lustre - It would be virtually impossible to find vinyl that will better this one!!!  

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  Mint-  This Vinyl visually looks like it's never been played and appears to be a  Mint looking Copy - On this particular occasion I have played only the 1st track on each side just to assess play grade quality as I don't want to risk or degrade this mint looking copy in anyway more than is really necessary - The Audio playback from just 2 tracks played were 1st class and absolutely SENSATIONAL and Unbelivable for 40 years old   - Being uninterrupted with No other bad audible distortion or faults plays crystal clear  from start to finish with dynamic STEREO quality and performance with only maybe the very lightest of static to be heard occasionally during the very quieter elements of audio playback if at all - But without any doubt this has to be truely one of the best your likely to ever hear on a turntable or find of this very Rare collectable and in this supreme condition anywhere in the world!!!     

Labels Condition: Mint- (Possibly Unused) Labels being the Vertigo Black & White Large Spiral 'swirl' labels with black written text across a clean white background which look near mint and just Superb are Unmarked and look near perfect with NO obvious evidence showing of Spindle usage marks or trails showing across either of the Labels with No wear around the spindle hole which still looks untouched and its very evident that if it has ever been played it was done so very carefully that there are no traces showing of audio play use to be seen!!!

Cover Condition: EX to MINT-  An Original 1st press Marcus Keef Unlaminated Matt Gatefold sleeve cover - This superb Cover is just exceptional and Amazing example showing all its original Bold and Vibrant colours like its near on 'Perfect' - That's totally intact with razor sharp straight edges and excellent pointed corners - The cover looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and incredibly clean and showing all it's original bold vivid colour with pristine clean written text Inside the cross on the inside of gatefold sleeve that looks virtually Mint (like New) - The only blemishes that I can find if you look very closely is a some mild and very light storage scuff wear on front at the bottom and corners also along the opening and bottom edges and I do mean light! is not that noticable (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall exceptional condition of cover) 

Spine Condition: MINT- The spine is clean intact and near perfect - Matt unlaminated with all written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded with just a little mild storage rub at top & bottom of spine  

Inner Sleeve: MINT- The original Vertigo 'Swirl' White & Black polylined Record company sleeve is in immaculate and looks Suberb in an original very clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes apart from a little yellow aging tinges around the white edges

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
