Excellent plus (EX+) condition completely flat & gleaming jet black sheen vinyl with just a few extremely wispy hairlines and very light, fine paper scuff marks on each side, only just visible with close inspection under a bright light and certainly nothing feelable or below the surface - all purely superficial;  pristine, near mint (NM) condition labels - completely unmarked with not even the trace of a single spindle trail...clearly, this is a record that has been sparingly played;  gorgeous excellent plus (EX+) condition fully laminated outer sleeve with firm unscuffed edges, near perfectly defined right angled unrubbed corners, no opening edge fraying, no creasing and all art work/colours/text remaining in beautifully vibrant condition with crystal clear definition still. The only blemishes (each very minor) being a 2cm thin vertical area of laminate lift at the front side top left corner, some very thin vertical strips of laminate lift adjacent to the spine on the reverse side, a few very light 1cm (or less) laminate creases adjacent and perpendicular to the spine (mostly on the reverse side), and a very light thin horizontal line towards the top of the front side - each non-obvious and very trivial. Superb excellent plus (EX+) quadrophonic audio quality throughout with great tone and clarity - no interference/distortion, no clicks or pops, and barely any crackle at all (just the odd nano second of static) with both sides remaining a great listen. Comes with original plain white & correctly dated inner sleeve in excellent (EX) condition with no splits, creasing or age discolouration...just some mild creasing in the corners.

An eminently presentable and truly excellent plus condition copy of this prog/psych/electronic/Krautrock gem.

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

 If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
