CONDITION (using RRPG grading):

VINYL: EXCELLENT+
Both sides of vinyl have a superb deep, black sheen.
Visually, they are NEAR MINT and look barely-played - the record still sits very tight to the spindle.
Just a few very light paper sleeve "removal" marks and some very faint hairline marks on each side - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light and very occasional static "pops" and minimal amount of static "crackle" - which are only present very occasionally.
This really is a superb copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality in most parts is SUPERB.
This first UK press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than later pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 7.5-9/10 throughout.
Record plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
The thick, unlaminated card gatefold sleeve shows just very, very minor (but very acceptable) signs of wear to both front and back.
Very small sticker rash on the front righthand corner.
No tears, folds, splits, stickers or writing - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

SPINE: EXCELLENT++
Text is fully readable on the wide spine.
No tears, splits or folds. Nice example.

LABELS: NEAR MINT
I am struggling to see ANY spindle marks - even when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
This record still sits very tight to the spindle and is clearly a barely-played copy.
No writing, tears or stickers.

OTHER: Printed inner lyrics sleeve is EXCELLENT with just one very small snag in one of the side edges.
No other splits, folds, writing or tears. Very acceptable and collectable.
