CONDITION
The gatefold sleeve and its vinyl LP are both very good examples of this sought after early US Radio Promo with no spindle marks, graffiti or handwriting on the original RCA labels save for a WRXT station Ident on Side 1. There is also some minor handwriting below the sticker, but scarcely visible.
The sleeve spine credits and titles are worn and rubbed.
After fifty years there is significant ring wear on both sides of the LP sleeve with plenty of scuffs and bumps given this was clearly a "working example" Radio Promo LP. Please do refer to the many large photographs provided to reassure yourself of the exact condition.
All in all this is still probably one of the most sought after examples extant of this fifty year old American promotional LP.
Please refer to the many large photographs which are of the actual LP you are bidding on.
