VINYL
Graded as VERY NEAR MINT, possibly UNPLAYED ? since 1973, have other copies which I played instead. 
Beautiful glossy mirror like finish, really beautiful condition with ZERO hairline marks each side , any other marks will be sleeve removal ones, but even in strong light I can't even see any !!! When play tested  SUPERB SILENT AUDIO PLAYBACK !
SILENT ON RUN INS & BETWEEN TRACKS AND STUNNING CLARITY AT HIGH VOLUME ON MY TOP END REGA SYSTEM ! JUST LOVELY !!
SIMPLY AMAZING AFTER  YEARS

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove wear at all  !!!! 

Certainly (no) clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion!! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

AUDIO GRADED AS NEAR MINT!! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT PURCHASED IN 1973 !!

PLEASE SEE ALL PICS AND USE ZOOM 

OUTER GIMMICK SLEEVE
An VERY NEAR MINT grading for this original foldout sleeve is 100% accurate. 
ITS A STUNNING BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE !!
The front of the sleeve is very clean and glossy still, the notoriously difficult to keep clean sleeve is also superb, all fold backs are un damaged and all text is clear and legible. SUPERB !!
The spine is unworn and text is clearly visible and legible, always kept in a dust cover and stored correctly. See pics Lovely !!!
CENTRE LABELS
Both sides are Mint with NO spindle trails around the centre hole, further evidence of the ZERO plays in the last 48 years !!
ORIGINAL  INNER SLEEVE 
NEAR MINT LIKE NEW, CRISP, CLEAN AND WITH NO SPLITS. AMAZING !!
POSTER MINT NEVER LEFT SLEEVE UNTIL TODAY !!!
DIFFICULT TO BEAT THIS COPY UNLESS STILL SEALED ?
