CONDITION

Disc:  MINT UNPLAYED SHOP FRESH !!!!

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see even a blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!! 

UNPLAYED LOOKING CONDITION , SHOP FRESH !!!! AMAZING AFTER 48 YEARS !!!!

This wonderful sounding, well looked-after disc has received a careful Test play on top quality equipment only. Both playing surfaces retain all of their deep-gloss mirror like factory shine with no harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal marks & a sparkling rainbow shine visible beneath halogen light. The sound is totally unworn with no traces of any audible wear or distractions anywhere.

The Audio Quality   NEAR MINT

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is awesome! 

Cristal clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove ware at all!!!! 

Certainly (no) clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion!! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 47 YEARS OLD!!!!! IN MY OPINION THESE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS PRODUCE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY CAN NOT BE SURPASSED BY LATER PRESSINGS!!!

LABELS    MINT

NO SPINDLE LINES VISIBLE CONFIRMING ONE OR TWO PLAYS IN 47 YEARS , AMAZING !!!!

Laminated Gatefold Cover: NEAR MINT

Stored all its life within a protective cover which has perfectly preserved the high-gloss laminate which is totally free from any storage rubbing, 'thumbnail' creases or real corner damage. Apart from a couple of tiny edge wrinkles, there really is nothing to fault overall. Both panels inside the gatefold are clean & unblemished and both seams and the spine are unworn and perfectly worded.

This is the original Glossy Printed laminated gate fold cover in absolutely superb condition!! Super glossy appearance !!

(NO) SPLITS OR TEARS OR NASTY NAMES WRITTEN ON ETC 

 VERY GLOSSY AND VERY RICH IN COLOUR  (VERY RARELY EVER SEEN IN THIS CONDITION)  Superb UNMARKED FULLY LEGIBLE spine (see photos) SO RARE TO FIND A  COVER LIKE THIS AFTER 47 YEARS !!!!!

VERTIGO SWIRL INNER NEAR MINT

No rips , tears, writing scars at all , LOVELY and CLEAN !!! dated and original
