Labels :
Classic UK 1st Press yellow RS labels Both sides are AMAZING with NO signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever Just has an absolute MINISCULE amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that you can EASILY count the number of plays this has had on just the one hand INCREDIBLE for a 46 year old record Both must grade overall at least as Excellent
Record : Visual -
Spectacular Original 1971 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 one or two BARELY VISIBLE totally non-sounding cosmetic scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines only visible in strong angled light and only one or two ULTRA light non sounding hairlines from where it has sat or been removed from it s cover over the years Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes affect play much AT ALL PHENOMENAL for a record of this age and rarity You ll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is Must grade overall at least as Very Good 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, sticks OR skips Only like nearly ALL records has just a few ultra light ticks on the very rarest occasions, and 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 about it The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does mostly play with a CD-like near black silence, but with that depth, bass, warmth and clarity you can only get from UK 1st Press vinyl EVEN most of the quiet sections Absolutely ESSENTIAL ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity Must grade overall audibly at the 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Original 1971 unlaminated Andy Warhol designed WITHDRAWN GATEFOLD zip sleeve complete with original Richard Davis Ltd insert incredible 100 unaged condition and has clearly barely even left the sleeve, if ever and original unsplit inner IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, 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 tears, NO staining, NO writing, NO graffiti, NO bad marks AT ALL, and still ULTRA strong and solid after all these years This sleeve only has a TINY amount of ULTRA light signs of ageing such as just the most miniscule amount of incredibly light ink rubbing in few and far between places being extremely picky and literally one or two of the vaguest near invisible creases, a tiny patch of very minor indents to the centre of the back from manufacture where it briefly rested on another zip sleeve barely anything and some vague zip outline signs on the inside pic where the zip has rested unavoidable with this cover, though the amount of wear is truly minimal for once , a touch of denting to one or two of the four corners which ALL vintage sleeves 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 an utterly MAGNIFICENT sleeve, and a SERIOUS 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, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, and totally readable Must grade overall 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

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
