The Condition of the vinyl is what i would class to be EX+. There is verly little sign of wear to this record as it appears clean and crisp and still has a glossy finish. When held under a strong light there is a few very minor light marks but these are almost unnoticeable and have no effect on the records playing condition. I have played the record on my ferguson player and this record plays superbly. When played there is no background noise that can easily be heard through my player. There are no pops or jumps. The record plays smoothly throughout with a beautiful clarity.
The labels are EX+. The labels are clean and very crisp. There are a few spindle marks around the centre whole but apart from that they are superb.
The cover is in VG + condition and does have some wear. All the corners have been slightly rubbed and all edges are worn however the top and bottom edge have been worn in places but not terribly as the pictures show. The spine is all intact and still nicely shaped however the letters have ben rubbed. There are no splits and tears to the cover and is very clean. The front cover is very clean and the colours are still vibrant. There is some slight wear as the picture shows but nothing which affects the records appearance. The back cover again is very nice with colours still sharp but some slight minor colour change near the spine but again this is only small to respect of the back cover and again really has no effect on the appearance. This cover is 43 years old and is in brilliant condition for its age considering what genre this record is from as most copies the covers will not be as nice as this!
Overall All this is a fantastic copy of an impossibly rare record which should not be missed

On 28-Aug-10 at 19:46:52 BST, seller added the following information:I have just been informed that although this is a rare piece this is a 1981 pressing made in western Germany. This is still an extremely rare item as it was pressed in small numbers meaning it is hard to find a copy so as a result this is still a very rare and unusual copy of this record which should be a must have for any collector
