All of my records that I'm selling are from my own personal collection that I have collected and cherished for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

Vinyl Condition: Nr MINT (Looks Hardly Played!) Vinyl on both playing surfaces appear to look absolutely stunning and still shows that original 'New' Look Shine all over - In bright day light both sides are just Stunning and virtually flawless - Visually the vinyl looks BARELY PLAYED and looks completely free from any surface marks or wear/blemishes looks virtually UNMARKED on even closer examination under a strong angled halogen bulb it's very hard to find or detect any marks on Side 1 of this exceptional near perfect vinyl disc If I'm going to be over critical and you look hard enough on Side 2 it only just reveals nothing more than one or two insignificant very feint mild wispy small hairline traces probably from inner sleeve removal that absolutely doesn’t effect the virtually Perfect Audio Playback - The vinyl still retains its original factory pressed look with jet black shiny gloss sheen and lustre - It would be virtually impossible to find vinyl that will better this one!!!  

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as NEAR MINT - There are No Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away but absolutely nothing of any consequence that will spoil your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Iconic 45 year old Classic Album - Overall  it’s just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynamic Mono Audio performance!!! 

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 45 years it would obviously benefit from a professional clean  before play as to reduce further any light dust static crackle that is still present

Labels Condition: Nr MINT Labels being the Red Unboxed Decca with red vibrant labels with bright Silver written text are just Superb and look near perfect and with only little evidence showing of Spindle usage marks or trails showing across either of the Labels with No real wear around the spindle hole which still looks Superb its very evident that it has barely ever been played over 45 years and when played it was done very carefully as there is not that much evidence to show of any excessive audio play use to be seen!!!

Cover Condition: Nr MINT An Original James Upton front Laminated picture sleeve cover - The superb Clarifoil Laminate on this amazing pristine example shines like its near as 'New' as you will come across - That's totally intact with No obvious and noticeable Laminate lifting or Wrinkles to be seen with ultra straight unworn edges and a razor sharp opening edge with exceptional original square corners the cover basically is near perfect - The cover Looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and very clean and still shows all its original bold vibrant vivid colours on front of cover - The Non-Laminated back of cover is unbelievable to look at is still Superb very clean and exceptional and totally intact with all the drawings by 'Charlie Watts' that cover majority of the back area of sleeve are just fantastic all still in an Original state and near Pristine condition as they ever were with the rest of cover showing the same with No wear or blemishes - Under even closer scrutiny the only blemishes I can find if you look hard enough is some very light small laminate top front cover crease with a little light spine and bottom edge surface creases the back only has a hint of some light usual yellow ageing discolour along the back edges and I do mean light! None of the said mentioned is really that noticeable (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall Brilliant and Exceptional condition of cover) To find another cover any where as Superb as this one would be an Impossible task!!!   

Spine Condition: Nr MINT The pinched spine is near Mint very clean totally intact and near perfect - Still amazingly fully laminated with all written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded just like nearly 'New' along the narrow spine edge  

Inner Sleeve: EX+ The Original Decca 'Made in England' and 'Patent Applied for' White polylined Record company sleeve with 3 blue boxes containing blue text on front is in immaculate and Exceptional order being very clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over its lifetime - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes apart from some light wrinkle creases and a little yellow/brown aging tinges around the edges

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
