The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only some VERY light general paper scuffing only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays STUNNINGLY with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and NO crackle!!!! There are only a few low level clicks (5 or 6) on the intro to one track - but these DO NOT last long AT ALL - they finish before the singing starts and are ALWAYS low level!!!!  There is NO groovewear, NO distortion, and NO nasty 'greying' of the grooves!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! THIS RECORD IS EXTREMELY RARE IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The MEGA RARE 'Textured' 1st Press 'Dress' Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  There is NO tears, NO rips and NO staining!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in brilliant condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! If I was being hyper critical - then the spine is slightly yellowed, and there is the VERY faintest beginnings of wear to the spine and edges - but I stress BEGINNINGS (as in barely any) - and there is NO wear through the colour on the edges, and ALL of the spinal text is PERFECTLY readable!!!! This really is an absolutely SUPERB cover and EXTREMELY rare to find like this!!!!  The cover must STRICTLY grade Excellent(Minus) if not better!!!! THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE LP AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING RARITY!!!!
