The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in SUPERB 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, NO hairlines, only 1 ULTRA light TINY scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB RECORD!!!!  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 which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO visible edge wear (apart from some INCREDIBLY well done and virtually INVISIBLE 'touching in' to the bottom edges), NO spinal wear (apart from some very VERY isolated 'touching in' traces - again virtually INVISIBLE!), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  There is also a 'Shop Code Sticker' & 'Price' sticker at the VERY top of the REVERSE of the cover - which both look entirely correct for the age of this LP!!!!  And though they BOTH look completely ORIGINAL to the purchase of this LP you can never discount whether there is something underneath them, and I certainly decided NOT to chance removing them for fear of seriously damaging the cover!!!!  In any case - they certainly do NOT detract from this BRILLIANT looking cover in any way - so why bother to remove them anyway!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
