THE SLEEVE IS AS CRISP, CLEAN AND FRESH AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE AND THE VINYL - PROBABLY ONLY PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES - IS STUNNING

THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd.”, DATE CODED '7303' (1973, March) WHICH IS VERY DARK BLUE IN COLOUR AND HAS THE FACTORY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE WITH FOLD-UNDER
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH PATENT NUMBERS AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" TEXT PRINTED IN GREY/SILVER
AND BOTH ORIGINAL POSTERS AND STICKERS
LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked labels with just a couple of light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: MINT-
Both playing surfaces shine like new - not a mark to be seen
VINYL Audio: MINT-
This copy sounds absolutely sensational and plays with a beautifully deep, rich and warm sound for which this first pressing is justly famous.
My play-check at loud volume detected no audio issues of any kind - there are no clicks or pops, no groove-wear or distortion (it's barley been played) and no evident surface noise - exceptionally clean and an absolute joy to hear
SLEEVE: MINT-
The gatefold sleeve is clean, sharp and fresh with litttle wear or rubbing to speak of
POSTERS: MINT-
The two posters are untouched and only opened for my photographs
STICKER: MINT-
The two stickers are again, as-new
INNER SLEEVE: MINT-
The original black, poly-lined inner is clean and unmarked with no damage or splits and again, has the appearance of hardly ever being handled
IN SUMMARY; THE FINEST ORIGINAL COPY OF DSOTM I HAVE SEEN AND THEY REALLY DON'T COME MUCH BETTER THAN THIS
