Cover: Non-laminated single cover, in beautiful condition for its age. No ringwear, no edge-wear, and no seam splits. The only minor flaws preventing me from grading this as near-mint are a bumped corner at the bottom of the spine (visible in photo), which shows a little corner-wear, and a small crack on the spine, which hasn’t split through. Very strictly graded as EX+. Please note that although this is the mono cover, the record inside is the stereo version.

Inner Sleeve: Original lyric inner sleeve, with a black-and-white picture of the band. There is a tiny (1cm) seam split on the bottom edge, but the side seams are intact. There is a fold on one of the corners (visible in photo) and a clean 4cm tear along the fold. However, despite its age, it is still crisp and clean, with no ‘foxing’ or browning that would normally be associated with a record that is over 40 years old.

Labels: Original first-press tan labels, with no evidence of spindle-wear whatsoever. Please note that this record has been mis-labelled; this is a stereo record which has mono labels.

Vinyl: A record that has clearly been played only a very few times and would be impossible to upgrade. Looks and plays near-mint; no pops, ticks, skips or distortion.

Additional Info: All of the vinyl that I am selling is from my personal collection, and has been cleaned on a VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine. I keep all of my records in ‘Mobile Fidelity’ rice paper inner sleeves and store them with the records outside of the covers in plastic, re-sealable protective sleeves.
