The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in SUPERB visual condition - with the playing grade only VERY slightly less than this!!!! 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, NO scufflines, 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 great to find that the record plays almost as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves, gaps and VERY quietest parts of the music ONLY (though mostly NONE!)!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must visually grade Excellent+ if not better - with the playing grade only VERY slightly less than this!!!!  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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Lyric' inner sleeve which is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition and most importantly UNSPLIT!!!!  The 1st Press 'MacNeill' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has only VERY slight edge wear, only VERY slight spinal wear, only slight corner wear, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), barely ANY rubbing, NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, and NO writing (apart from an absolutely TINY '41')!!!!  There is also 2 stickers on the reverse of the cover - one showing 'L' and one showing '2'.  These are clearly NOT covering anything up - and I am VERY certain they could EASILY be removed with the correct knowledge (though why bother?)!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
