Outer Sleeve
* Original First issue cover printed by James Upton. (Printed by James Upton is printed in the bottom left corner)
* External flapbacks at rear of the cover (Covers released later did not have flapbacks).
* MONO on rear
* Rear cover has the famous "blind man's text" which some people found offensive, and was soon replaced
* The cover is in Excellent condition, it is fully intact with no tears, no damage and no writing. The front of the cover has just a few small creases in the laminate. The spine looks great, (yes it has the two ends thinner than the middle). The rear of the cover is unlaminated and so has a few dirty fingerprint marks. It is undamaged and the flapbacks are well stuck down. No writing.
Visual and Play of the LP
Side 1 - Visually EX , one light superficial mark on the last two tracks. I played this area particularly carefully, there was no sound whatever from this superficial mark. Play of the whole side was found to be EX+ at least. Flawless, no ticks, no clicks, no hops, no sticks, no background noises. Just great !
Side 2 - Visually EX+ with no scratches, and just a few faint rubs visible in very strong light. Play was found to be EX , no ticks, no clicks, no background noises, flawless but not quite as outstanding to listen to as side 1
