THIS LP HAS CLEARLY ONLY BEEN PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE AT THE VERY MOST!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s 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, and only some very VERY light paper scuffing only visible under light (probably just from movement inside the inner over the years - this record has clearly not been played more than once or twice EVER)!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY (if not better) than the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO hiss, and NO crackle!!!!  There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion.  The record must grade strictly Excellent (Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  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 inner sleeve!!!! The 1st Press E.J.Day FLIPBACK laminated Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking), barely ANY corner wear (NOT through the colour), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, NO grubbyness, and only very VERY slight yellowing (barely ANY)!!!!  The cover must grade FULL Excellent if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AS A STEREO 1ST PRESSING AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
