On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see even a blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!!

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

GRADED AS NEAR MINT!! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 45 YEARS OLD!!!!! 

IN MY OPINION THESE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS PRODUCE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY CAN NOT BE SURPASSED BY LATER PRESSINGS!!!

The Labels:  MINT
