The record labels are in AWESOME 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 AWESOME condition (with the playing grade only very VERY slightly less - barely ANY!)!!!!  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, NO scufflines, only 1 ULTRA light TINY surface trace, 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 LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is almost as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some very VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must visually grade MINT(Minus) (with the playing grade only very VERY slightly less than this - for the reason detailed above!)!!!!  AWESOME 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 inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'E.J.Day' FULLY Laminated 'Rotating Wheel' Cover is in SUPERB condition - with a FULLY working 'rotating wheel'!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, only 1 very VERY minor laminate wrinkle on the cover back, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  It is also VERY important to note that the 'Rotating Wheel' works PERFECTLY and ALL the 'Die Cut' holes on the cover front are PERFECT!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
