---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some general remarks: This item is in unbelievable condition, Vinyl and Sleeve are practically as new.
I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.
The Vinyl: NEAR MINT - you won't find a better one
The surface is clean and shiny. Playback is loud and strong. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: NEAR MINT
A few wispy spindle traces only. Fantastic.
The laminated Sleeve: NEAR MINT
This is the original first sleeve, laminated on the front but not on the back. It is in a condition you would expect when you would be able to buy it new in 1969. For the pickiest amongst the collectors: Held up into sunlight I can see a very tiny spot where the laminate begins to lift. That's it. The spine is strong and clearly readable.
Original Inner Sleeve: VG++
It is the correct first Inner Sleeve showing 10-69 and British Patent No. 800513. I downgraded it because it has a few creases and a 5 cm split on the opening edge towards the side edge.
If you ever intended to own a TRUE FIRST PRESSING of this gem in as good as new condition don't let this one pass by.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee listed above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
