Some general remarks: Not really rare but most copies are beaten up. Not this one! It is in fantastic clean condition and sounds superb!
I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.
The Vinyl: NEAR MINT
Held up against a very strong light in can see some faint hairlines but that's it. Playback is NEAR MINT throughout. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: NEAR MINT
The non-laminated (1st issue) Gatefold-Sleeve: VG++ - it has some mild edge-wear and very little ring-wear. There is a small tear from a former price-sticker on the upper right on front, spine is clearly readable. No splits.
Plain White Inner Sleeves: EXCELLENT
If you ever intended to own a TRUE FIRST PRESSING of this landmark album in practically flawless condition don't let this one pass by.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee listed above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
