THIS RECORD HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT 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, 1 VERY small and NON sounding hairline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!

Even the unlaminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  There are a few light creases, and a small creaseline near the opening edge.  However these are the only INCREDIBLY minor defects on what is a SUPERB cover!!!!  The cover must STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and is very VERY hard to find in this condition!!!!
