The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition and it is SO rare to find this MEGA RARE 1st Pressing like this!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has a simply AWESOME shine to it and SUPERB sound quality!!!!  It has NO scratches, 1 small mark, 1 NON SOUNDING hairline, only 3 or 4 light and NON sounding scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and NO crackle!!!! And the all important track 'Tell Me' plays PERFECTLY!!!!  In fact this must be one of the BEST sounding '2.52' versions of Tell Me left in existence - with NO crackle and ZERO distortion!!!!  The rest of the LP too - plays AWESOMELY with CRYSTAL CLEAR sound quality, NO distortion and the only sound fault on the whole LP is 4 or 5 clicks/pops (NO more than that) on the track 'Walking The Dog' (from the small mark I mentioned before).  This record plays SUPERBLY with AWESOME sound quality!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better - with the playing grade better still!!!!  As I said - apart from those VERY few clicks/pops on one track this LP plays Excellently if not better!!!!  AWESOME SOUNDING RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also has its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Handling/Playing' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 'Earliest' 1st Press 'MacNeill' Flipback Cover with thick shiny laminate is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear, NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, NO writing, only a few light creases (cover is flat looking - all creases are small and mostly  confined to the edges - NO long creaselines across the cover), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, NO wear and barely ANY yellowing AT ALL (just slight yellowing to the flipbacks)!!!!  This cover is in BRILLIANT condition and must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!! IT IS MASSIVELY RARE TO EVER FIND A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH THE MEGA RARE '2.52' VERSION OF 'TELL ME' AND THIS ONE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP AND PLAYS SUPERBLY!!!!  SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MASSIVELY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
