COVER

This original earlist 1st issued laminated front, matt rear cover has survived well , having no writing, stickers or nasty stains present.The front panel is very clean and bright with no tears , nice glossy laminate with nothing more than a couple of tiny stress creases and a tiny bubble along the spine edge. The spine is a little squashed but all text is still intact and readable with no splits or wear.The corners are in nice shape with nothing more than a hint of bumping.The rear panel is equally as clean with no writing and just a couple of faint marks.It's not a near mint example but a very clean , presentable one that would not look out of place in any music lovers collection ! ( see-pics) strong  VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION !

VINYL

Both sides retain a deep glossy shine and look very nice , however on closer inspection a couple of light hairlines and visable but apart from one , do not affect the audio.The one that does only causes some faint clicks and nothing more.All tracks play through well with clear sound with just a little faint static /crackle between tracks.Having said this , it's still a very attractive example and one that plays through with minimal distractions , unlike most of these ,which have been played to death, badly beaten up and look like you have eaten your lunch off it.Not only does this play through and look nice but it's the very earliest ,true 1st pressing ,which are extremely hard to find (see-pics) Visualy and Audibly , strong VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION  

LABELS

Both labels are in clean and bright shape / Erliest deep grooved variants , un-boxed , NO writing , stickers etc and just a couple of faint spindle traces , nice  clean set ( see-pics ) EXCELLENT MINUS  CONDITION

INNER

Original poly-lined  inner sleeve, which again is in very clean condition with no writing, tears etc  ! just some creasing from storage !  clean example ( see-pics)
