The record labels are in SUPERB 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 absolutely BRILLIANT 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, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, 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 AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT 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 Red Mono inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Clout Baker' Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition overall - and though it is still a PRESENTABLE example, and has NO major defects - it is showing its age a little!!!!  It has NO edge wear (apart from 2 or 3 TINY touching in traces), NO spinal wear (apart from a few TINY touching in traces), some corner wear (NOT through the colour!), some evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, only 2 or 3 TINY indentations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition overall - with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO writing, though there is some ringwear, and some general light rubbing!!!!  As I said though - this cover has NO major defects, and is still solid and presentable!!!!  It is simply showing its age a little!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a presentable example, with NO major defects!!!!  In any case, the REAL rarity here is the record!!!!  For ALL the covers were made for Monos AND Stereos and are easily interchangeable - with this cover being EASILY upgradeable if so wished (though this cover is still a presentable example!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE IN MEGA RARE MONO(!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
