Saturnalia Matrix Trix 1SP Magical Love Includes Booklet/Ticket Form Rare

Claimed to be the first 3D record album, this sole release from Saturnalia is a treat to behold.  It is complete with the psychedelic booklet and concert ticket voucher.  Perhaps best of all, I have played this on two different stereos and this copy does not seem to be plagued with the sonic issues (a persistent rumble or persistent noise) common to this release and attributed to the way the disc was put together - I have heard pressings characterized as nonlistenable.  I characterize the bass as being a bit muddy in places (particularly louder passages) but overall this copy is a highly enjoyable listen.  I grade the vinyl VG++, bright and glossy, excellent visuals, nothing more than a couple of fine hairlines.  The holographic labels are in excellent shape, clean and bright.  There are a couple of small spots on the very edge of the "Magical Love" holograph but they seem to be below the surface (they are visually affected by the holograph movements) so I think they go back to the original press.  In any event they do not significantly diminish the quality of these extremely cool 3D labels.  The booklet has small tears around the two staples on its cover (see photos); otherwise it is NM.  The ticket voucher is NM.  
I am listing this as released in 1973; there seems to be disagreement on that with some saying it was released in 1969.  Saturnalia, by the way, is an ancient holiday celebrating the Festival of Saturn, occurring in December.  Somehow I have missed that all these years.  If you are interested in hearing a sound sample because of the known problems with this release, let me know and I am happy to put some up.
A classic piece of space psych, aurally and visually.  You will be hard pressed to find a better overall copy.

• Mint (M) (only if sealed).  Not used for 7".
• Near Mint (NM): Very little evidence of use, glossy surface, minimal vinyl marking; labels are clean and crisp with no writing, ring wear or significant spindle marking; jackets are clean and square, no writing, no splits, no ring wear.
• Very Good+ (VG+) : Vinyl shows use but has been well cared for, surface has light scuffs or very light scratches (not feelable) that will not significantly degrade the sound; labels are clean with only minor ring wear, any writing or sticker/residue is discrete, only slight soiling or dirtiness, drill hole OK if label otherwise clean; jackets are clean with no more than light ring wear, minor corner dings, if writing on the cover it is discrete, no more than one slight seam split, light creasing, cutout hole or corner only if rest of jacket is free of defects - multiple flaws of the types described will drop grade.
• Very Good (VG): Vinyl shows significant use with more scuffing or light scratches but will play through without skipping, may be slight warping but will play through (without having to tape a penny to the tonearm like the old days!) and nothing that will cause a significant bobbing of the tone arm, will have surface noise particularly at intro and in soft passages, dimished or irregular gloss; labels may have significant ring wear, more prominent writing or stickers/residue, drill hole, more soiling or dirtiness; sleeves may have multiple splits, writing, creasing, soiling or dirtiness, drill holes or cut corners, and/or ring wear.  This is a common grade for older 45's - they were often stored outside of the sleeve which lead to multiple light surface hairline scratches which have not caused significant damage to the vinyl grooves - they will still afford an enjoyable listen.
• Good (G): Infrequent grade usually only applied to rare items, or to one aspect (i.e. the sleeve) if another aspect (i.e. the vinyl) is a significantly higher grade.  Vinyl may have significant scuffing or scratching, poor gloss, significant noise on playing but should play through; labels may have glaring writing, significant ring wear, extensive sticker residue, dirtiness; sleeves may have substantial ring wear, extensive seam splitting, taping, prominent writing.
