The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only some VERY slight grubbyness around the centre hole!!!! WHAT A STUNNING SET OF TEST PRESS LABELS!!!!  The vinyl is in brilliant condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, 1 scuffline, 3 or 4 light hairlines, 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!!!!

There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The record must grade visually Very Good++ with the playing grade more like Excellent (Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!! THIS RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY!!!! 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 inner sleeve!!!! The 1st Press E.J.Day MONO Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!
