This bad boy is a TRUE first pressing. Down to the Serif font on the address on the back. Side 1 does have some slight inner groove distortion, but overall it's still quite clean.
See below for more detail:

VINYL: Stronger VG (7.0 of 10) First MONO, 63rd New York labels (no R), Ears, RVG in runouts. Great heavy Plastylite press. Sheen is decent. There's really only some paper scuffing. It's quite clean. But as mentioned, side 1 has a little inner groove noise. It's not overpowering, but might annoy some. Only very light crackle every now and then from any scuffs. Side 2 plays very nice, so I split the difference to call it a strong VG. ... It's an amazing record, for sure.
COVER: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Beautiful cover. Strong seams and spine, great corners, beautiful gloss. Only issue is a signature on back, really. Not even a curve to it. ... overall it is a great copy. Shame it has a hint of groove issues.  _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
