The record labels to BOTH records are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition and plays SUPERBLY!!!!  Most of these 60s double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  I will grade each side visually in turn, and then an overall visual & playing grade further below!!!! 

Side 1 has only 2 visual hairlines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairline traces, only 1 ULTRA light scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 1 must visually grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  Side 2 has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 2 must visually grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Side 3 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 3 must visually grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Side 4 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 1 MEGA light scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 4 must visually grade Excellent(Minus) if not better!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that both records play as STUNNINGLY (if not BETTER!) as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The records overall MUST grade Very Good++ if not better and play SUPERBLY!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press Matching CBS inner sleeves which are in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press Gatefold Flipback Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear (apart from an absolutely TINY touch of virtually INVISIBLE 'roughening' on 1 edge), NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), shiny laminate, only a couple of VERY small indentations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with SUPERB flipbacks, NO wear, NO rubbing, NO grubbyness, NO writing, and barely ANY yellowing AT ALL!!!!  There is also an absolutely TINY split on the inside left opening edge towards the top - though this is absolutely TINY, has been AMAZINGLY well repaired, is 100% strong, and really is as minor as it gets!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ better!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
