The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME 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, 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 AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, 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!!!!  AWESOME 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'MacNeill' Textured Cover is in GREAT condition overall - and although it has the associated wear this cover type nearly always suffers with - it is certainly still presentable (see pictures)!!!!  The cover has some edge wear (but NO splits!), some slight spinal wear (again, NO splits!), some corner wear, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), barely ANY ringwear AT ALL, only VERY slight rubbing, NO sticker marks, only a few TINY indentations, some VERY minor evidence of 'touching in' on the EXTREME bottom right corner edge ONLY, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is still VERY nice and straight with only some VERY minimal feathering!!!!  Even the 'textured' back of the cover is in GREAT condition overall with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only VERY slight rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a presentable example with NO major defects!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
