The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  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 NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY than the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT 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 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition overall - and still VERY presentable indeed!!!!  It has NO top edge wear, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'touching in' on the bottom edges, NO spinal wear (apart from some VERY slight roughening towards the VERY bottom), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, only a very VERY small repaired 'nick' in the middle of the reverse opening edge (this has been PERFECTLY done, is 100% solid, and very VERY hard to spot!), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in GREAT condition overall - with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, only a MEGA thin 'residue' line in the VERY bottom right corner, NO ringwear, only 3 or 4 areas of 'touching in' at the VERY top of the inside of the cover (this is EXTREMELY well done, and VERY easy to overlook!), NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still VERY solid & VERY presentable indeed (see pictures!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
