The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s 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, NO hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL (virtually NONE), and virtually NO background noise AT ALL (apart from slight amount on the A side run on groove ONLY)!!!! There is NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!! STUNNING 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 also has its ORIGINAL 'earliest' 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' inner sleeve with its all important 6/71 date code!!!! This is in STUNNING condition and has NO splits, NO rips and still has its ORIGINAL 'Polythene lining' FULLY intact!!!!  THE MEGA RARE POSTER IS IN AWESOME CONDITION AND THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!  It was VERY clear when I first slid the poster out of the cover that I was the first person EVER to see and unfold this AWESOME poster FROM NEW.  In fact the previous owner told me he didnt even realise there was a poster inside the cover - and so as a result it was never touched SINCE NEW!!!!  Naturally because this poster was NEVER touched since new - it is COMPLETELY MINT!!!!  THIS IS EASILY THE BEST CONDITIONED POSTER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!  The 1st Press 'Box' Laminated Cover is in STUNNING condition and still retains a PERFECT 'box' shape!!!!  This is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find on this cover - as it only took a couple of LPs placed on top, or even a tightly compressed record rack to quickly flatten and squash this easily damaged cover.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  IT IS SIMPLY SUPERB!!!!  Not only that but in EVERY previous 1st Press 'box' cover I have ever seen their is usually at least 1 edge where the laminate has lifted.  Again NOT THIS ONE!!!!  ALL EDGES OF THE COVER ON BOTH BACK AND FRONT HAVE NO LAMINATE LIFTING AT ALL - AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS COVER!!!!   The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, AWESOME shiny laminate, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT though the colour), only a VERY few light creases, and NO writing!!!!  Even the laminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, and NO yellowing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better - and is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find in this condition!!!!  THIS 1ST PRESSING IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL POSTER AND CORRECT 'SPIRAL' INNER SLEEVE, AND RARER STILL IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
