The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!!  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 VERY small hairlines, only 1 light scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  There is also a small area of scuffing at the VERY edge of 1 side - though this does NOT affect play in the slightest!!!!  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 nasty loud pops, only a VERY few light clicks/pops (only a VERY few!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) 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 Vertigo 'Spiral' inner sleeve!!!!  The 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has barely ANY edgewear AT ALL, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), only an absolutely TINY touch of wear in 1 corner (almost INVISIBLE!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO writing, and only VERY slight rubbing!!!!  The only other thing to mention is that the spine is slightest 'misaligned' - though this is purely from manufacture and would have happened back at the factory!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
