VINYL is NM
Gleaming gloss vinyl appears unplayed, Like New. Labels are pristine both sides.
.
COVER is VG
Actually very clean and bright - Laminated front is extremely nice, but back has light discoloration at upper left edge and smaller, lighter spot at right on top edge - hence the conservative grade. No other marks. Seams and spine completely intact with no wear or splits.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG

Superb vinyl on this very early (small label) narrow band issue!
...the inner sleeve has 5-68 code but this NB label was 1st used in 1969, so no doubt one of the earliest to receive the NB label.

MATRIX NUMBERS
Side One: ZAL-5483-6W 
Side Two: ZAL 5484-5W

Original CRIMSON print for bottom ROYAL BALLET text (later issue was green)
"MADE IN ENGLAND • THE DECCA RECORD CO. LTD." Printed on labels (later pressing was Holland)

Featured on Harry Pearson's renowned TAS ("The Absolute Sound") Super LP List
Both the audiophile grade recording and pressing, as well as the performance, are simply outstanding.

Original Decca packed anti-static lined inner sleeve included.

Except for the light discoloration on back cover at edge, this is an extremely nice
early copy of this TAS-Listed DECCA SXL issue!

Album kept in a protective, poly outer-sleeve.
