The record labels are in SUPERB condition see pictures with NO wear, NO writing and only a few VERY light spindle marks And the 2 TINY black dots on 1 label are NOT ink - they are simply 2 TINY vinyl residue traces left from the ORIGINAL manufacturing process back in 1969 and no doubt could easily be removed if so wished The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition - and so VERY hard to find like this Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty deep feelable scratches, NO nasty surface marks, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light TINY surface traces almost INVISIBLE and completely NON sounding , and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual It plays with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL virtually NONE , NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some very VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either The record must grade Very Good if not better BRILLIANT RECORD Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to Brillant The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition The ORIGINAL 1st Press Turquoise Lettered FULLY Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition - and is a very VERY decent example indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear apart from a few absolutely TINY creases , NO nasty brown creases AT ALL, only slight corner wear NOT through the colour , NO rips, NO tears, only some VERY minor evidence of tipping in to the bottom 2 corner tips, NO splits, shiny laminate, only an absolutely MEGA thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, only a few ULTRA light laminate impressions though you have to look very VERY hard indeed under light to see these , only a few light creases cover is still VERY flat looking , NO annotations, only a couple of absolutely ULTRA faint stain traces you have to look VERY hard to spot these , NO sticker marks, and NO writing The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering Even the laminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO yellowing, only a MEGA thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, only 2 slightly more noticeable though absolutely TINY creases on the top edge, only a few VERY light creases elsewhere, only the VERY slightest touch of uneveness on the back ONLY, NO grubbyness, and NO writing And of course, obviously this cover has NO nasty edge splits, and NO writing AT ALL And despite this being a very VERY decent Turquoise 1st Press Cover indeed with absolutely NO major defects AT ALL , I will be very VERY strict on this cover indeed because of the creasing laminate lifting - though as my pictures clearly show, this cover is still VERY decent indeed, has NO nasty brown creases, and has NO yellowing AT ALL The cover must grade Very Good PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better - and is undoubtedly still a very VERY decent cover indeed, with absolutely NO major defects AT ALL THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY FINDING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH ALL THE AMAZING DETAILS GIVEN ABOVE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
