 CONDITION

The Vinyl  VERY NEAR MINT

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see even a blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!! 

UNPLAYED GLOSSY LOOKING CONDITION , SHOP FRESH !!!! AFTER 40 YEARS AMAZING !!!

The Audio Quality Near MINT

I have played this through (Possibly THE FIRST EVER PLAY!!!)  track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is awesome! 

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove wear at all !!!! 

Certainly (no) clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion!! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

GRADED AS  Near MINT!! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 40 YEARS OLD !!!!!

 IN MY OPINION THESE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS PRODUCE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY CAN NOT BE SURPASSED BY LATER PRESSINGS!!!

The Labels:  MINT

These are superb ! Featuring the first press CBS WHITE label design. 

 AMAZINGLY ONLY ONE TINY FAINT SPINDLE LINE !!! can be seen only on each side,angled in strong light.

Confirming this has definitely been played possibly ONCE OR TWICE ONLY !!!  For a vinyl that is 40 years old ,  SUPERB !!!

Please note! i am highly critical about the audio quality on my records as it is my prime interest above rarity! This plays awesome you will not be disappointed, also this being the VERY 1st and very early is highly collectible and sought after !!!
