Any fan of Yes, or 60s/70s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s 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, NO hairlines, only 2 VERY small and NON sounding scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely MEGA faintest touches of ULTRA low level background sound in a very VERY few places (though mostly NONE)!!!!  The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Excellent(Minus) 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!!!!  The 1st Press Gatefold Cover (+ Booklet) is in AWESOME condition and virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find like this!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY light corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed), NO rubbing (IMPOSSIBLE on this cover), NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated 'textured' inside is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear and NO yellowing!!!!  The 'Stapled' Booklet on the inside of the Gatefold is in AWESOME condition and there is NO rust to staples either!!!!  Please also note that the 3 or 4 absolutely TINY white 'dots' you may be able to see on the inside of the Gatefold are actually part of the paper (NOT wear, and NOT 'pull marks') and EXACTLY how this cover was made back in 1971!!!!  The cover MUST grade Excellent++ if not better!!!!  AWESOME COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
