The Cat. No is SBL 7912 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Philips label see picture and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing there were NO Monos
The record labels are in GREAT condition see pictures with NO wear, NO writing and some spindle marks to either side The vinyl is still VERY bright and shiny looking indeed And under normal room conditions - 90 of the record has a SUPERB glossy shine, with only a very VERY few VERY light lines barely visible It also plays VERY well indeed generally I just played it end to end just now However it is only when you study this record under VERY bright light - that you can see a few VERY light hairlines, and 2 or 3 small surface marks NON sounding Though generally 90 of this record still looks VERY nice indeed However, the main detail to note on this record - is that there is a small mark at the VERY beginning of Side 1, and a visible scuffline here also. Though thankfully the scuffline is almost ALL completely superficial and doesnt sound AT ALL The mark however does - and I will detail that below. And as always, I will be MEGA STRICT with my grading THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK - AND IS VERY BRIGHT SHINY LOOKING INDEED Apart from the mark mentioned above which I will detail below , the record plays with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks though mostly NONE , NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL The exception to this is the small visible mark mentioned above - which does cause some clear pops at the beginning of the first track on Side 1 and lasts gradually fading for 1 third of the track. Now on my system THERE ARE NO JUMPS, NO STICKS AND NO SKIPS AT ALL. And that is geniunely the case. However, systems are different and there is no possible way for me to guarantee this on any other system - so bear this in mind. But on my system it plays through fine, with NO jumps AT ALL. And the rest of the LP from about 1 third of the first track in plays BRILLIANTLY - with barely ANY clicks AT ALL And the sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either And even though most of the record looks FAR better than this, I will only MEGA STRICTLY visually grade Fair PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better, to avoid any disappointment, or any complications. I been very VERY clear on this 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 Gatefold Cover is in GREAT condition overall - and still VERY solid and presentable It has NO annotations, some clear evidence of touching in the edges spine especially the top edge , NO stickers, only 1 TINY touched in wear mark this is VERY small indeed , some corner wear, only a VERY few light creases cover is VERY flat looking indeed , only some very VERY slight rubbing MILES better than most , NO ringwear, and NO writing The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL Even the inside of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, only VERY slight rubbing, and NO writing The cover must grade Good PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed if not better - and is still a VERY solid and VERY presentable example indeed THIS LP MAY NOT BE 100 PERFECT THOUGH IT IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE AND GENERALLLY PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED - BUT IT IS OF THE UTMOST RARITY AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN SO THIS IS CERTAINLY AN AMAZINGLY RARE CHANCE FOR SOMEONE TO OWN THIS INCREDIBLE LP AT A CHEAPER PRICE THAN THE HUGE FORTUNE REQUIRED TO OWN A MINT COPY THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPRTUNITY
