Shades Of Deep Purple Uk Stereo Parlophone 1968 Ex 1 / 1

I m selling my entire record and memorabilia collection over the coming months.
I have built it up over 40 years and now is the time to let it go.
This is a superb UK copy of Shades of Deep Purple on the yellow/black Parlophone label, stereo.
PCS 7055.
Matrix YEX 689-1 and YEX 690 -1.Mothers 1 O / 1 O The condition of the vinyl is EX.
Graded in the blazing sunlight this morning showed up the inevitable hairlines but that s all.
The heavy-duty vinyl has a wonderful sheen to it.
I bought this about 25 years ago and have not played it ever.
The original shop grading on the plastic sleeve says nr mint.
But I am loath to grade a 50 year old LP as nr mint.
I usually grade to maximum VG - but this record is exceptional.
Labels are perfect but for a few spindle marks.
The sleeve is almost EX I s say, so VG .
Four good corners with the ever-so-slight beginning of scuff/rounding, probably from pulling it in and out of the protective plastic cover I have had it stored in.
Some very slight creasing.
Garrod Lofthouse flipback.
No rips, tears, stains, writing.
The slight beginning of ring-wear on the front, but hardly noticeable.
Plain white inner.
Spine is perfect, with the correct spinched-in corners.
Overall the condition of this LP is superb, and it s just over 50 years old
