The Vinyl: Visually looks in Mint condition -Vinyl looks virtually flawless - On close examination it shows NO scratches or marks across the vinyl surfaces - This can be proven by close inspection of both sides of the spindle areas as it shows only very light spindle wear only ever played 2-3 times with both labels virtually in perfect pristine unmarked clean condition - Vinyl still shows all it's Original lustre and Jet black glossy sheen 

On the recent Playback assessment the Record still Plays Dynamic with it's amazing original sound clarity and sheer quality of sound along with the fantastic stereo production that fills the room  Just as you would expect from an early 1st pressing

 The Front/Back of Covers/Spine: Are Excellent in condition totally intact crisp and clean with perfectly straight sharp edges - Showing all it's Original Vibrant Clear Sharp Colours - All writing down the spine is visible - Absolutely NO tears,splits,ink marks or stickers apart from some very minimal laminated surface creases with virtually NO edge wear only some very slight  corner bump ware which has occurred during the storage process over it's lifetime - Overall an Excellent plus copy This is mainly due to the plastic cover protection on Album since Day One - It would probably be hard to find one better!!!    

Labels: On examination there is only very very light spindle trails and both labels are in near Mint looking clean condition  

Inner Sleeve:The original Polylined EMI/HARVEST black/white inner sleeve is totally intact and is generally in excellent condition but shows some negligible age wear with minimal creases here and there and some yellow ageing tinges - NO tears or splits or ink pen marks

      All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

I'm currently starting to sort through some of my other Rare vinyl records that have been played only a few times - which are mainly UK 1st  PRESSINGS - which are all in Excellent to Mint Condition - Mainly due to Covers/Vinyl have been kept in plastic covers for all of there Life Span this is one of them
