No is 6360 067 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

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 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, NO scufflines, only 1 ULTRA light NON sounding surface trace, 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 LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely ULTRA faint touches of MEGA low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  SUPERB 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 'Vertigo' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Cover (with PERFECTLY working opening 'Bus doors'!) is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO visible edge wear (apart from some absolutely ULTRA faint 'touching in' traces which are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to notice!), NO spinal wear (apart from 2 or 3 TINY 'touching in' traces), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, only 2 or 3 TINY wear traces, only VERY slight rubbing towards the VERY edges ONLY, and NO writing!!!!  The 'Bus Doors' work & open PERFECTLY and there are absolutely NO rips and NO tears to the actual bus doors themselves!!!!  Typically (and completely unavoidable on this cover!) many years ago the right hand 'bus door' did come a little loose causing 2 VERY small 'stress splits' (now PERFECTLY repaired!) across to the edge of the cover. However this was PERFECTLY repaired (NO tape!) and simply re-stuck down by the 1 previous owner, leaving a PERFECTLY working set of doors - and the 'stress splits' simply now look like 2 small 'creaselines' and are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to notice!!!!   And certainly this part of the cover is way WAY better than the usual 'hanging'/'loose'/or 'missing' doors you usually see on this cover - and it is EXTREMELY RARE INDEED to find 2 doors on this cover that work PERFECTLY!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with  feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only VERY slight rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better and looks very VERY presentable indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

PLEASE NOTE!!!!  Unfortunately there is a VERY small mistake in the description where I have missed out a word.  The sentence 'The opening edge is beautifully straight with  feathering!' in the cover part of the description is WRONG and should of course read 'The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!' (as there is absolutely NO feathering AT ALL on this SUPERB cover!).  This is a truly an AWESOME example and easily the BEST I have EVER seen!!!!  So please read on about this AMAZING item!!!!  Good luck!!!!
