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 (ONLY ONCE OR TWICE AT THE VERY MOST!)!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition - and apart from 1 detail mentioned below (which certainly isnt terrible!), it would be in AMAZING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s 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, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  However on either side of the record, there are 2 areas of 'bag sweat' marks, which are NOT from any wear, and simply from long term storage!!!!  And although they barely affect play AT ALL (and the rest of the record is jet black!), because they are visible they must be mentioned.  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!!!!  The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  Excluding the 'bag sweat' marks mentioned above, the record must grade Excellent+ if not better (though as there is no grading system in the world that accounts for these, I have simply clearly mentioned them and excluded them from the grading)!!!!  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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition and still FULLY 'poly-lined'!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition - and almost NEVER seen like this!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (side words PERFECT!), barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), possible very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the EXTREME corner tips, NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL (virtually NONE!)!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
