I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Turquoise Lettered' FULLY Laminated Cover is is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO nasty brown creases AT ALL, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), possible very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the EXTREME bottom 2 corner tips, shiny laminate, only an absolutely MEGA thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, only a few absolutely TINY creases along the spine, NO annotations, only a few small 'half-moon' creases towards the right (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, only 2 or 3 small 'half-moon' creases towards the left, NO annotations, only 1 ULTRA light laminate wrinkle towards the top left (this is from manufacture and almost INVISIBLE!), NO grubbyness, only a VERY thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, and NO writing!!!!  And of course, obviously this cover has NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, and NO writing AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better - and is a very VERY decent example indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY FINDING THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
