 I grade the cover as Excellent. It's very clean and doesn't have any writing, splits or ring wear. Some very light laminate peeling along the mouth on the front cover and along the spine on the back cover. The spine has a fully readable text. The original clear inner sleeve is in Near Mint Minus condition. The beautiful sparkling heavyweight vinyl is graded somewhere between strong Very Good Plus and Excellent Minus having only a few very light non-feelable surface hairlines and scuffs which don't affect the amazing playback. The red Parlophon labels are in stunning Excellent condition, scuff- and wear-free, only having some very light spindle marks that are visible under a strong light source.  The vinyl sounds outstanding with a punchy and clear audio of an Italian pressing having just some very light occasional static that is noticeable at a loud volume during the quiet passages, and it will most likely go away if the record is professionally cleaned using a VPI machine.
