The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition overall (apart from 1 small detail)!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  There is however a kind of 'pressing mark' (it looks similar to a water mark) at the VERY beginning of Side 1 ONLY.  And though it is visual, luckily it ONLY affects the run on grooves and VERY beginning of the first track ONLY!!!!  And even better still - the beginning of the first track on Side 1 is simply a single 'tone' as a build up before the music starts!!!!  And the few brief surface sounds this 'pressing mark' causes on the run on grooves & beginning of this track end BEFORE the main music intro even begins!!!!  So this 'pressing mark' actually doesnt spoil the enjoyment of this record AT ALL - as it is on the VERY edge of the record ONLY!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  Apart from the detail clearly mentioned above - it plays with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  Not only that but the sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'MacNeill' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear (apart from a few absolutely TINY traces of 'touching in'), NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO ringwear, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!!  The cover MUST grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
