THE RARITY OF THE RECORD :- Mega Rare!. Only 1000 copies pressed worlwide before deletion

THE COVER :- Laminated Single Sleeve

THE LABEL :- Rare Decca Nova Label

THE VINYL VISUALLY :- On initial inspection the vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable!! and retains an original deep glossy shine and looks beautifully clean for a 40 year old record!! I cannot see any areas of concern

THE VINYL PLAY GRADED :- On play grading this fantastic record I have found it to be a clear and vibrant sound that hasn't lost any of it's magic over the past 45 years. It certainly hasn't been overplayed at all, there are signs of static and crackle but only heard in quieter areas of the album in the main, these will more than likely go away once the album has been played and cleaned a couple of times by its new owner. Overall I would say the vinyl plays to an Excellent condition

THE SLEEVE FRONT CONDITION :- This is the very earliest 1ST PRESS sleeve there are no seam splits and only light signs of shelf wear at the opening corners The laminate shows some creasing in certain and evidence of a previous sticker in the top right also some light ringwear. I would rate the cover as Very Good condition

THE SLEEVE REAR CONDITION :- A non laminated rear cover with  full track details information on the group themselves. Ther is someones initials penned in the bottom left corner. Non laminated rear covers are extremely difficult to keep pristine and although not pristine I would rate the rear as Very Good condition

THE LABEL SIDE ONE CONDITION :- Original Decca Nova label. Someones initials penned in biro. Some signs of play around the spindle hole

THE LABEL SIDE TWO CONDITION :- Original Decca Nova label. No writing or stickers. Some signs of play around the spindle hole

THE SPINE CONDITION :- The writing on the spine is crystal clear, no spine damage at all
