The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s 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 NO scratches, NO hairline, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  There is also 2 or 3 ULTRA light 'pressing traces' - though it is VERY clear when you look at them under light, that they are 100% part of the vinyl (EXACTLY how this record was pressed!) - and VERY clearly from ORIGINSL manufacture!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'MacNeill' Gatefold Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has barely ANY edge wear (NOT through the colour), barely ANY spinal wear (NOT through the colour - and side words PERFECT!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The only other thing to mention is that parts of the EXTREME edges & spine ONLY look to have been 'touched in' at some point in the past - though this is VERY hard to notice, EXTREMELY well done, and only serves to enhance what is already a BRILLIANT conditioned cover!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
