The record labels (see pictures) have NO writing, NO sticker marks, VERY nice unfaded Gold Print, NO sticker tears, some 'touched in' wear around the centre holes (hard to see in the pictures - as the labels are black), NO annotations, and only some spindle markings to either label!!!!  A VERY NICE SET OF BLACK & GOLD LABELS!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall - and is VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!!!!  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 cracks, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, NO warps, only 3 or 4 MEGA light scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light surface traces, only a few VERY light hairlines (only visible under light!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, a few brief surface sounds on the run on grooves, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The record must grade Very Good(Minus) (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record indeed!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Patents Applied For' Emitex 'Poly Lined' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (SUPERB flat & straight spine with PERFECT side words!), only VERY slight corner wear, NO rips, NO tears, only some minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the bottom corners, NO stickers, NO splits, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO residue marks, VERY nice flipbacks (apart from some TINY crinkles to the top left corner flipback!), NO flipback loss AT ALL, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
