COVER SLEEVE & SPINE:  EXCELLENT+ CONDITION  - All show in an Excellent condition and totally intact - Absolutely NO tears,splits,ink marks,stains,ringwear or stickers - Spine is in superb condition with all written text showing very bold and clear - Apart from the cover showing just some very minimal edge wear scuffing and very light corner bumps also some small light edge cover creases (hardly noticable)that has been obtained during the storage process over it's 33 year lifetime - Overall a Great copy - This is mainly due to the plastic cover protection on Album since Day One and will Probably be hard to find one Better!!!        

VINYL RECORD: EXCELLENT+ CONDITION  - Visually both sides of the Vinyl surfaces look Unmarked and show No actual Scratches to be seen only under a bright light there is just the odd light wispy line or very feint hairline trace which doesn't interfere with playback in anyway which have occured during the removal of vinyl over the years from the cardboard inner sleeves and with No other surface blemishes across the vinyl - The Vinyl Still has all it's Fantastic Original Lustre and Jet Black Glossy Shiny Sheen 

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT: -SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY ON PLAYBACK END TO END There are No pops,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 on run ins and inbetween tracks that you may get some very very light static crackle for a second or two but nothing of any consequence that spoils your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Album 

The Record still plays Outstanding all the way through with all it's Original and dynamic driving 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 an early 1st Pressing!!!

LABELS: NEAR MINT CONDITION  - Some visual evidence of spindle trails and trace wear but this only shows under a bright light - Very clean and unmarked Labels that have been well looked after over the years 

Inner Sleeves:  NEAR MINT CONDITION  - The Original Black & White Lyric Inner Sleeves are in Superb condition - Very Clean unmarked condition only shows the lightest of edge wear with some very small and minimal light surface edge creasing - one of the best your likely to come across

All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

I'm currently starting to sort through some of my other Rare vinyl records that have been played only a few times - which are mainly UK 1st  PRESSINGS - which are all in Excellent to Mint Condition - Mainly due to Covers/Vinyl have been kept in plastic covers for all of there Life Span and this is one of them
