1ST PRESS VINYL CONDITION THE VINYL IS IN STUNNING MINT CONDITION, BRIGHT, CLEAN AND SHINY. REATAING IT'S 'JUST PRESSED' FRESH LOOK, AND MIRROR SHEEN.
WHEN CLOSELY EXAMINED UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE NO MARKS OR TRACES TO BE FOUND ON EITHER SIDE, AT ALL.
SINCE NEW I HAVE CAREFULLY PLAYED IT THROUGH TWICE ONLY, ON BOTH SIDES TO TRANSFER ON TO TAPE AND CD. THE VINYL PLAYS LOUD AND CLEAR LIKE NEW.
ANY SPECKS VISIBLE IN THE CLOSE UP PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE VINYL, ARE JUST NATURAL LIGHT DUST PARTICALS.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY INSPECTED UNDER AN 'UNFORGIVING' BRIGHT HALOGEN LAMP. THE VINYL LOOKS STUNNING AND UNPLAYED. 
THE RECORD COMES IN IT'S ORIGINAL CRISP, COMPANY POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE, WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
LABEL CONDITIONS THE LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE IS ONE SMALL FAINT SPINDLE TRACE NEAR THE CENTRE HOLE, SIDE ONE LABEL ONLY.
1ST PRESS UNLAMINATED SLEEVE CONDITION
THE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE (NO SLEEVES EVER LAMINATED) IS IN STUNNING NEAR MINT CONDITION. HOUSED IN A PVC COVER FROM NEW THE CORNERS, EDGES AND SPINE ARE SHARP AND FINE,  WITH NO SPLITTING, TEARS OR FEATHERING.
PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY UPTON PRINTING GROUP.
A RARELY SEEN ARCHIVE EXAMPLE, STORED CAREFULLY IN A SMOKE FREE HOME FOR 41 YEARS  IT WOULD BE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO BUY THIS MEGA RARE 1ST PRESS UK JAZZ ALBUM AGAIN,  LET ALONE IN THIS CONDITION!
IT'S AN EXCEPTIONAL IMMACULATE COPY!!...NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE!
