Excellent plus EX condition vinyl - completely flat, weighty and retaining it s original jet black lacquered sheen, coming across as completely unmarked in normal daylight. Very close inspection under a bright light reveals just a couple of small and extremely faint paper scuffs and an equally faint 4cm scuff line on track 1 you will need to look hard to identify it, even with close inspection under a bright light ...purely superficial and not impinging upon the flawless stereo sound quality at all. The labels are in pristine condition with not even the faintest trace of a spindle trail - perfect Clearly this is a record that has been very sparingly played. Excellent EX condition front-side only laminated sleeve with firm and completely unscuffed edges including a rigid spine where all spine text remains fully intact. Each corner remains a near perfectly defined right angle just some very minor compression on the top right corner with barely any rubbing at all and the reverse side flipbacks remain totally intact with just a few non-obvious and very trivial laminate creases. The opening edges are similarly firm with no fraying. There is no laminate lifting and just a few 1cm or less barely noticeable laminate creases adjacent and perpendicular to the spine and a 6cm equally light surface laminate crinkle towards the top edge. The reverse side is near perfect with just a couple of small and very, very light handling/storage marks - nothing really. All colours, art work, photos, and text remain beautifully vibrant and with crystal clear definition. The only blemish of note is a very fine 4cm split in the middle of the top edge - not especially obvious but it s there take a look at my photos . Superb near mint NM STEREO sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, clicks, distortion or background crackle - wonderful tone and crystal clear stereo reproduction throughout. No wonder this LP is now looked upon as one of the all-time psychedelic greats - every track has stood the test of time and remains a great listen on this 1st pressing copy hard to believe that this vinyl is 57 years old . Comes with original and excellent plus condition EMI advertising inner sleeve with no side splits or edge fraying and barely any age discolouration or creasing - remarkable Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.
There can t be many better condition 1st press copies of this psych gem than this, especially considering how few were sold when first released all those decades ago.
