CONDITION (using RRPG grading)

VINYL: MINT MINUS
Both sides of this BARELY PLAYED rare and collectable EARLY UK FIRST PRESS vinyl have a superb, glossy, mirror-like black sheen.
Visually, both sides are also NEAR MINT and the record sits very nicely on the spindle.
There are just a couple of very small and light paper sleeve "removal" marks on each side - 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 rare static "pops" - which are only present very occasionally. This really is a fantastic copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality throughout is BREATHTAKING.
This EARLY UK FIRST PRESS has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than other pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 9-9.5/10 throughout.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.

SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Superb EARLY UK FIRST PRESS unlaminated heavyweight card gatefold sleeve.
Just a couple of very small but acceptable signs of very light wear to the front, back and outer edges. One very light and small crease on the inside top lefthand corner of the sleeve - only visible when the gatefold is opened and held at an angle, under a strong light. A very nice, solid example - in HIGHLY COLLECTABLE condition.
No marks, writing, stickers, folds, bends, splits, snags, tears or rips.

SPINE: NEAR MINT
Just a couple of small but acceptable signs of very light wear - mainly towards one corner edge. A very nice, solid example - in HIGHLY COLLECTABLE condition.
No folds, creases, bends, tears, splits or snags.

LABELS: MINT MINUS
EARLY UK FIRST PRESS smooth paper labels - drawn and designed by Roger Dean - have NO visible spindle marks whatsoever on either side - even when viewed at an angle, in bright light or under a strong halogen lamp.
This record still sits nicely to the spindle and has no visible signs of wear around its spindle hole - this is clearly a BARELY PLAYED copy. No marks, writing, tears or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

OTHER: Original card inner lyrics sleeve is MINT MINUS with no signs of wear whatsoever.
No writing, stickers, folds, bends, creases, tears, snags or splits - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE. Extra anti-static shaped poly record bag is EXCELLENT++ with some minor crease marks.
No snags, rips, tears, writing or stickers.
