Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.

I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!  Brillant!!!!

The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the laminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The only detail to mention is that there is a writing impression (NOT actual writing!), on the front/back of the cover - though this can ONLY be noticed when angling the cover under light!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
