In good natural light and strong direct halogen spotlight the record exhibits a superb deep glossy playing surface with no marks, scratches, scuffs or blemishes. Beautiful! The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. The labels are clean, unworn and without spindle markings. A superb visual example of a difficult record to find in such fine condition.

The record plays through without issue. Occasional light static between in quiet passages, no loud obtrusive pops, repeat clicks and obviously no skips or sticks with this high grade. A fantastic listening experience.  


Sleeve Grade: EXCELLENT PLUS!
Only light signs of handling and storage, sharp unworn spine. Clean on the inside gatefold. The original 1st press version purple title sticker - 67mm - is still firmly on the cover with no scuffs or tears. Fantastic!
