Labels :
Classic UK Track 1st Press labels Both sides are OUTSTANDING with NO real signs of age, NO graffiti, and NO writing OR tears whatsoever Just has literally just two or three ultra light spindle marks which suggests that you can EASILY count the number of plays this has EVER had on just the one hand IMPOSSIBLE for a 46 year old record Both must grade overall at the least as Excellent
Record : Visual -
Spectacular Original 1970 UK 1st Press Vinyl Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks INCREDIBLE with NO nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever The only blemishes off perfection are just a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces, one or two ultra light hairlines, and a TINY amount of mega mild non sounding paper scuffs only visible in strong angled light mostly caused from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL PHENOMENAL for a record of this age and rarity AWESOME condition - you ll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is Must grade overall at least as Excellent minus graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me
Record : Audio -
Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, distortion, skips OR sticks Only like pretty much ALL records has the very RAREST quiet isolated tick here and there, and possibly just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks, but that s truly about it The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does play with a CD-like near 100 black silence, but with that bass, depth, clarity and warmth you can only get from original UK vinyl EVEN the vast majority of the quiet sections Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at least as Excellent graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me
Sleeve :
Original UK 1st press gatefold MacNeill unlaminated fragile DOUBLE BLACK TEXT STAMP pocket sleeve complete with original inner and ALL 12 inserts all are MINT and have clearly barely even left the sleeve, if ever - BY FAR the best set I ve ever seen UNBELIEVABLE IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, split, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP This one is NOT, and looks FANTASTIC, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves NO really bad marks AT ALL, NO splits, and still strong and solid after all these years Only has a few mild signs of ageing such just a small amount of ultra light edge creases and the slightest ghost of a record imprint, just a litte spine rubbing with a small punture wound near the bottom where it s taken a slight knock nothing drastic at all , a touch of denting to the four corners which basically ALL vintage LP s have, and POSSIBLY just to be sure one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all And that s truly about it I tend to bring it down by listing the most minor negatives I can possibly find, but this truly is a FANTASTIC example of such a fragile paper-esque sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as incredible as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt Must grade overall at least as Very Good graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL Customer satisfaction is of 100 importance to me
Summary : A PHENOMENAL unique 100 complete example of this IMPOSSIBLY RARE Double Black Text classic true 1st Press LP complate with ALL inserts Hard to find in ANY condition, but simply IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS UNBELIEVABLE AS THIS YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don t miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60 s/70 s music history Bid now

I ve realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system occasionally with a or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i m having real trouble deciding , so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100 perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps
