This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, 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 LOOKS AMAZING It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY 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 MINT Minus AWESOME 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo Spiral inner sleeve which is in absolutely SUPERB condition - with NO splits, PERFECTLY white looking, VERY flat looking indeed, and still FULLY poly-lined The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition - and easily the VERY best I have EVER seen The cover has NO edge wear, NO edge splits, NO spinal wear apart from some almost INVISIBLE touching in traces - with PERFECT side words , NO spine splits, NO ringwear AT ALL, only VERY slight corner wear NOT through the colour , NO sticker marks, barely ANY creases AT ALL apart from 2 or 3 touched in creases on the spinal edge, barely ANY creases AT ALL elsewhere, and cover is PERFECTLY flat looking , NO sticker tears, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL virtually ZERO - and SUPERB bright colours , NO annotations, and NO writing There are are 2 stickers in the top right corner on the cover front which look 100 correct for the age of the LP - and they are 100 flat and look completely UNTOUCHED. However, as I have no history with this LP - I obviously cannot guarantee what if anything is underneath them. And trying to remove them on a cover of this type wpuld be utter folly anyway. Either way this cover is so absolutely STUNNING in all other respects, and so very VERY rare to find as UNRUBBED as this one is - that this is a very VERY minor detail indeed And I for one, would definitely prefer this absolutely STUNNING looking cover with virtually ZERO rubbing, and NO ringwear AT ALL with a couple of stickers in 1 corner which are probably original anyway , than the usual terribly rubbed examples you often see without any The opening edges are beautifully straight, with barely ANY feathering AT ALL Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing apart from the usual touch towards the very top , and NO writing The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good if not better - and is very VERY close to a grade above BRILLIANT COVER THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY AS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY

After a few questions regards the stickers on the cover front. I have NO history with this LP and do not know what, if anything is underneath them. Personally I would bid as though there is something underneath them - then you cannot be disappointed But in truth - this cover looks absolutely BRILLIANT So why not just leave them alone? That is certainly what I would definitely recommend.
