The Vinyl: Visually on all 4 sides of Vinyl are just Superb and look UNMARKED and have only been lightly played just a handful of times very carefully over it's lifetime and are in a Near Mint looking condition -Vinyl looks Flawless - On close visual inspection on Sides 1-2-3-4 they show No actual scratches, blemishes or hairlines and with No other surface blemishes across the vinyl - On playback assessment there are No skips,,jumps or repeats and shows No  other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback only on the occasion when the very quiet tracks are playing and run ins inbetween tracks that you may get some very very light crackle but nothing of any consequence that spoils your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Album - All Labels are in near Perfect unmarked condition - Vinyl still has all it's Original lustre and Jet black glossy shiny sheen 

On the recent playback assessment the Records still plays with all it's Original and dynamic stereo audio sound with brilliant crystal clear clarity along with the fantastic full stereo production that would fill any room Just as you would expect from a 1st Pressing!!!

 The Front/Back of Covers/Spine: Are in Excellent plus condition totally intact crisp and clean with straight sharp edges - Showing all it's Original Vibrant Clear Sharp Colours - All black text down the white spine is perfect very clear bold and legible - Absolutely NO tears,splits,ink marks or stickers - With only very minimal and lightest of edge and corner wear (hardly noticable) that has been obtained during the storage process over it's 36 year lifetime - Overall a Superb looking copy - This is mainly due to the plastic cover protection on Album since Day One and Probably hard to find a better One!    

Labels: On examination it' has only shows very light wear with very few spindle trails evident - All 4 Labels are spotless and virtually Near Mint looking in condition with NO ink marks,blemishes or any other wear or tear
