This has only ever been played a minimal amount of times from new, when I initially purchased the album and one time to play grade for this listing. So rare for an album that is 40 years old! Impossible to find like this! very very collectable! The vinyl The vinyl is absolutely superb! On initial visual inspection this looks like new and still retains its sheen from new,  played barely a handful of times times, I originally played this to record to tape. In the last 40 years the album has been stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover to prevent ring wear and damage. I played the album recently to play grade. Looking at the playing surface angled to strong light. I find it hard notice all but a few wispy hairlines.  The Audio Quality   Crystal clear and extremely vibrant throughout in fact this plays truly superb.  Any interference was minimal some isolated static type tick noted, and isolated static crackle may be heard in between some tracks common on these mid seventies pressings, and probably due to needing a constant cleaning before each play to reduce this. This vinyl has been stored separately from the cover in a poly sleeve for over 40 years! This is the way I always store my records. The vibrancy of the audio on this pressing is almost as good as it gets for a very early 1st issue variation.  I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl. I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to near mint for the most part / main audio through out! (note: please allow for isolated static type tick/crackle as mentioned previously heard in isolated quiet places only common on these seventies pressings) Please note: That some Allowances must be made for these mid seventies pressings allow for the odd isolated static/ pops/ticks heard as mentioned previously, certainly not consistent throughout the audio.  The Record Sleeve This is the original thick card type cardboard lyric record sleeve, Note Textured (only 1st issues) later issues are smooth. Generally very clean and straight. There is light foxing mark that can be seen on one side of the sleeve. No edge splits or tears! The Cover This is the original and earliest 1st UK issue un-laminated A Series variation cover! (No Barcode) This is absolutely superb  brilliant and clean! On initial inspection this looks as new Near Mint condition, rare to find in this awesome condition No nasty creases to mention! ,  Note: A very minor crease noted just barely noticed only if looked for on the front top left corner. NO real rubbing or indents or edge lines noted  (See Photos) The spine is absolutely square and all text readable.    The Bag Cover There is no splits or tears! This is the original st issue with serrated top edge. There are no edge splits or tears.  Always stored separately from the cover and vinyl.
