A stupendous find from the old collection with only 1 owner and in quite amazing condition all round.  Acquired new by my father all those yrs ago this has remained stored in a vinyl crate and subsequently not seen the light of day since at least 1983 when it was transported from old home to new.  Prior to that it would appear dad almost didnt listen to it...

Vinyl - a very easy NM- looking close to unplayed.  Under maglite a small hairline or two and a light scuff or two is all to report with a glossy surface that given a good clean would look as good as - if not better than - some new records.  The labels are as new.  Unable to play grade as vintage Linn out of action but looking at this it isnt necessary at all!  A deep clean after decades stored safely is still wise.

Jacket - in truly excellent condition.  The laminate is unmarked and almost as new.  The card rear shows a little storage wear.  No ring wear, no seem or spine splits to speak of.  Being nitpicky well there is a little crush to top and bottom of the spine.  The inner sleeve is original hype type but simple paper affair so now benefits from a Nagaoka poly liner, it is a bit of a squeeze to work back into the jacket.

I geniunely think it will be very hard to find a better example anywhere in the world of this amazing album so the price reflects all the above and judging by Discogs history would seem quite fair.  You wont find better, buy with absolute confidence and prepare to be equally amazed!

Packed safely and shipped asap, thanks for looking.
