- All four labels are in mint condition .
- The jet black base colour has remained unrubbed ,and there are no marks or stains anywhere .
- Colour fully stretches into the unworn spindle hole.
- The silver typeface is also in top condition and every letter is perfectly legible.
- The Track logo which can rub and wear badly is in pristine condition on all 4 sides.
- A close examination of the spindle holes reveal that side 2 has one-two minuscule and barely spottable spider line tight to the spindle hole, whilst sides 1,3 and 4 have none.
- To us this shows that the set has had at most one extremely careful play from new in the past 40 years, and possible just first couple of tracks on Side One.
- Which ever it is this set is "as new" condition and is absolutely magnificent
- Both discs gleam like new and couldn't look any better
- All of the original lustre has been retained
- There are no visible marks or any signs of handling on the discs, and even under illumination there is absolutely nothing to see, backing up the fact that this incredible set has until today remained just about unplayed.
- Warping : just a tiny movement of the tone arm during playthrough ( absolutely nothing to worry about, but needs to be mentioned)
- The outer cover is a ‘butterfly’ style double entry gatefold constructed from a fairly thick but flexible card with a ‘soft’ touch finish .
- First issue was printed by Euro-Albums Holland B.V.
- Ultra rare 1st Press unlaminated cover in great all round condition.
- It comes with a large, 22 page album size heavy booklet, with a collection of black and white images.
- The cover is on the whole bright and clean, with barely any wear at all.
- The opening edges are very square and un frayed
- The back cover is nice and clean, with no ring wear
- The booklet is is great condition and is still firmly attached.
- The spine shows minimal edge rubbing and handling wear,( apart from top and bottom corner)and is square and true.
- The spine text is totally intact and the spine measures just over 7 mm.
