CONDITION (using RRPG grading):

VINYL: EXCELLENT+
Both sides of this cared-for vinyl still have a deep, black sheen.
Visually, they are also EXCELLENT+ and the record sits nicely on the spindle.
There are a few very light paper sleeve "removal" marks on each side - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Plus three or four other very small and faint hairline marks on both sides which are visual only and do not affect playback - guaranteed.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light and very rare static "pops" - which are only present very occasionally.
This really is a superb copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality in most parts is SUPERB.
This rare and hugely in-demand first UK press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than most other pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 7.5-8.5/10 throughout.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Just some very light signs of wear with very minor laminate creasing to the front and back covers.
One of the strongest examples I have seen in 30 years of collecting and trading.
A very nice, solid example - very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
No writing, tears, folds, splits or stickers.

SPINE: EXCELLENT
Text is fully readable. Just some minor wear to each corner edge and a little laminate "cracking" at part of its top edge corner.
No tears or folds - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

LABELS: EXCELLENT++
Just a few very light spindle marks - most of which can only seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
This record still sits nicely to the spindle and has been very well cared-for.
No writing, tears or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

OTHER: Emitex paper inner sleeve with liner still intact is EXCELLENT+.
No splits, writing, tears or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
