A fantastic record and this first pressing has really stunning audio quality - plays with nothing to fault - beautifully clean

The original matt cover is also in great condition - clean with crisp, square edges and spine which display very little storage wear - all text on the spine (which is 'pinched' at the top and bottom) is clear and bold.
The central text on the spine has some ink smudge from manufacture but still one of the finest examples I have seen in a long time
