CONDITION (using RRPG grading):

VINYL: NEAR MINT (close to MINT)
Both sides of this fabulous vinyl have a stunning, mirror-like, deep, black, glossy sheen.
Visually, they are also NEAR MINT and the record sits very nicely on the spindle.
This is clearly a barely or NEVER-PLAYED copy.
Just a couple of very light and very small paper sleeve "removal" marks - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few very 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 early UK first press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than later or other pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 8.5-9.5/10 throughout.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.

SLEEVE: NEAR MINT (close to MINT)
Just an incredibly small and very light sign of minor discolouring to the card material on the back of the sleeve - which is hardly visible and does not detract from the superb NEAR MINT condition.
A really stunning, solid example - very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
No tears, folds, snags, splits, stickers or writing.

SPINE: NEAR MINT (close to MINT)
No tears, splits or folds - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

LABELS: NEAR MINT (close to MINT)
There are NO spindle marks on either side - even when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
This record still sits nicely to the spindle and is clearly a barely or NEVER-PLAYED copy.
No writing, tears or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

OTHER: Black card inner sleeve is NEAR MINT with just a couple of light finger marks which should wipe off very easily.
No writing, tears, folds, snags, splits or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
