The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in 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 VERY light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is 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 EXTREMELY 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 Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  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 SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press '3-Flap' Gatefold 'Fold-Out' Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  The cover has barely ANY edgewear (NOT through the colour - and only some VERY minor evidence of 'touching in'), only VERY slight spinal wear (NO splits), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL to the cover front (virtually NONE!), only very VERY slight rubbing to the cover back, only a few VERY light creases to the actual cover (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO ringwear, a few creases to the front 'flaps' (virtually UNAVOIDABLE on this cover!), NO yellowing, only an absolutely TINY 'creaseline' on 1 of the 'flaps' (100% solid and absolutely TINY!), some VERY minor faint 'age traces', only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), and NO writing (apart a virtually INVISIBLE Catalogue number on the REVERSE of the cover (which is black - so this doesnt show AT ALL!)!!!!  ALL 3 'front flaps' work EXACTLY as they should - and are all FULLY joined to the spine!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, barely ANY wear AT ALL, some VERY minimal 'foxing' in a VERY few places, NO writing, and barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!)!!!!  And despite the few VERY minor details mentioned above - essentially this cover is VERY presentable, still VERY solid and 100% complete with NO serious damage AT ALL!!!!  And this is EXTREMELY rare on this cover - because usually, at least 1 or more of the front flaps have been torn away - or terribly damaged (NOT this one!).  And there is NO doubt AT ALL that this cover has survived REMARKABLY considering the EXTREME fragility of this cover and is EXTREMELY hard to find like this!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
