No is 6360 004 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME 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 AWESOME 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 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 LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as 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 grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in BRILLIANT condition overall!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  However - as you can see from the pictures, the opening edges of the gatefold have some minor wear (VERY thin indeed!), which has been EXTREMELY well 'touched in'.  This is probably most noticeable on the cover front (with barely ANY on the inside, and only a VERY minor amount on the cover back) - though even on the cover front, it is STRICTLY confined to the VERY right hand edge ONLY - and only towards the middle of the edge (it does NOT extend from the top to the bottom).  This wear is NOT from stickers and NOT from any 'tape marks' and as it is STRICTLY confined to less than 2% of the cover - it is very VERY minor indeed!!!!  And without this - this cover would EASILY grade FULL Excellent if not better!!!!  And if you want to be VERY clear about where this VERY minor 'touching in' is - it is on the EXTREME right edge of the cover front (middle towards the top), EXTREME left edge of the cover (middle only and VERY thin), and if you open the inside Gatefold is on the EXTREME right & left (though here on the inside of the cover, there is barely ANY!)!!!!  And because it is STRICTLY confined to parts of the opening edges ONLY, with the main faces looking STUNNING - it is really is VERY minor indeed!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better - and is still VERY nice looking indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
