This is a nice copy of the prog rock classic. Looking at the vinyl, it appears to be in very good++ condition, even under strong light, with no visible wear. The original full shine is also present.

One or two paper scuffs


LABELS: NEAR MINT

Early Rough Pink Labels are VG++ with  very light signs of spindle lines.


COVER: EXCELLENT+

The cover is smooth and is free from writing, rips, tears, defects. Edges and front have a little shelf worn as seen in the photos, that's why the cover is graded Ex overall, but it's very neat and fresh with all the spine detail clearly legible and spine showing no signs of wear. ‘Printed & Made by E.J.Day, London’ stated on the inner gatefold, confirming its early history.
