It is great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The records MUST grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  WHAT A BRILLIANT SET OF RECORDS!!!!  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 inner sleeves which are in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press NUMBERED Booklet (see picture) is in BRILLIANT condition with NO rips, NO tears, only 1 VERY neat fold line down the middle (from where it was originally tucked inside the cover back in 1969!), NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO splits, NO loose pages, and a PERFECTLY printed number ('12336')!!!!  WHAT A BRILLIANT CONDITIONED BOOKLET!!!!  The 'Earliest' 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Triple Gatefold Laminated 'Patents Pending' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear (apart from some completely INVISIBLE traces of 'touching in', NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), VERY shiny laminate, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges & fold-out edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AS A 100% GENIUNE 1969 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING, AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND 100% COMPLETE (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
