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 still VERY presentable indeed and VERY shiny looking!!!! In fact - under normal room conditions it looks like a Mint record!!!!   However under light you can see a few hairlines, only 3 or 4 light scufflines, and some VERY light paper scuffing only visible under light!!!!  And despite these few visual imperfections - this record is still VERY shiny looking indeed with a SUPERB glossy look!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  The record plays a few clicks/pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, NO hiss, only some VERY slight crackle in a VERY few places, and absolutely NO surface noise AT ALL!!!!  The actual sound quality simpy SUPERB with NO distortion & NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT 'wrecked') if not better - though under normal room conditions the record looks far FAR better than this, and actual sound quality is also FAR better than this also!!!!  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 EMI Advertising inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press Flipback Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, and NO rubbing AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
