VINYL RECORD:EXCELLENT+ CONDITION  - Visually both sides are still Superb being Unmarked with NO actual scratches to be seen across the vinyl surfaces - Unbelievable to think it's now a 39 year old record - So it's evident this record has only been played a handfull of times most probably (This one was obviously also another one! who was pretty boring just like his mate who's being sold aswell today and didn't go out to any wild party's or Raves in the early 70s either so didn't get completely wrecked to oblivion and  stayed at home in the same nice warm cupboard!)  If Ultra critical and Under a bright light it does show Just a few minimal light hairlines that can be seen and the odd wispy line traces that have occured  due to vinyl being removed from sleeve on a few occasions over it's lifetime  but NO other obvious marks  which doesn't interfere with the Brilliant playback in anyway with No other surface blemishes across the vinyl - The Vinyl Still has all it's Fantastic Original Lustre and Jet Black Glossy Shiny Sheen - Still a Great Copy!!! 

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT: SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR PLAYBACK END TO END -  There are No pops,Clicks,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback only on the occasion when the very quiet tracks are playing on run ins and inbetween tracks that you may get some very very light crackle for a few seconds and then fades away but nothing of any consequence that spoils your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Album 

The Record still plays Outstanding all the way through with all it's Original and dynamic driving stereo audio sound with brilliant crystal clear clarity along with the fantastic full stereo production that would fill any room Just as you would expect from an early 1st Pressing!!!

LABELS: NEAR MINT CONDITION  - Superb and Immaculate Shows only a little visual evidence of very minimal spindle trails and traces but this only shows under a bright light on examination with hardly any spindle hole wear evident which goes to prove that it has only been played  a few times  - Very clean and unmarked Labels that have been well looked after over the years 

COVER SLEEVE BOX: EXCELLENT+  -The Outer Box is showing to be still in a very strong solid and sturdy state and looks totally intact and in an Immaculate Unmarked clean condition with Clear bold readable wtitten text down the edge of box only showing some slight flatness to the cover that has occured during the storage process over it's lifetime but showing no other actual major problems on this 39 year old Box Cover - The Lamination is still in near suberb condition - with NO Cracking,Tears,splits,Rips,Cuts,stickers,Ink marks or other blemishes - On close examination only shows some minimal lamination lift near one side but NO signs of any Cracking or Flaking wear also very minimal light edge creasing on the sides and to the top opening flap and bottom flap this should be expected from a box cover of this age - Any general wear mentioned has occured during the ageing and storage process over it's 39 year lifetime - Please see all pictures that relate to my comments of condition of cover  - Overall still a Fantstic looking cover - This is mainly due to the plastic cover protection on Album for most of it's years        

Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT+  CONDITION  - The Original Black & White swirl  Inner Sleeves is in Excellent condition - Only shows the usual yellow age tinges and a few minimal small creases with some slight paper rippling around the centre hole - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting or other wear - This is one of the better ones your likely to come across of this age

All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

I'm currently starting to sort through some of my other Rare vinyl records that have been played only a few times - which are mainly UK 1st  PRESSINGS - which are all in Excellent to Mint Condition - Mainly due to Covers/Vinyl have been kept in plastic covers for all of there Life Span and this is one of them
