No is 6360 023 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB 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 absolutely BRILLIANT 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, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, 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 AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold 'Textured' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has only VERY slight 'touching in' to the VERY edges & spine ONLY (this is EXTREMELY well done and VERY minor indeed!), NO splits, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), barely ANY rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  There is also a 'Factory Sample' & 'Tax Code' sticker at the VERY top of the cover front - which looks entirely correct for the age of this LP.  And I certainly would NEVER recommend even thinking about removing them!!!!  On an unlaminated 'textured' cover like this one - they will either leave terrible damage, nasty residue traces - and of course you never discount whether there is something underneath them.  Either way - they certainly do NOT detract from this BRILLIANT looking cover and I would certainly leave well alone!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
