THE RECORD – Visual Grading EX+
A nice glossy vinyl, a solid midweight pressing. In daylight this vinyl looks unmarked. Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original early pressings, this vinyl has been little played. Under a spot light It does have some faint wispy sleeve removal marks. There are a few very faint handling marks, this vinyl has been played carefully and shows no groove wear. Unbelievable to think this vinyl is 40 years old! Grades at EX+.
THE COVER VG+.
The Original Matt finish covers of  DIAMOND DOGS  have to be one of the most prone to wear, of all the classic vinyls from the sixties and early seventies. Being matt finish and not having the advantage of being laminated, these covers usually faired pretty badly, with serious ring wear and scuffed along the edges. The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and scuffed. 
This 1st press comes with its original Cover, and has minimal scuffing to the corners, and only slight rubbing along the edges, and that is virtually un heard of for these rare covers. The opening edges are very square and totally un frayed, and there is NO detectable ring wear, just a faint impression of the record. The back cover is nice and clean, again with very little ring wear, which is VERY unusual for these delicate covers. The inside Gatefold is clean and virtually unmarked showing a few small scuff marks.[See photo] The Spine shows minimal wear only, and is a a little off square .   All round, this is a nice example!!!     
 A great example of the Diamond Dogs cover, so incredibly rare to find in this condition. Making this a very RARE and highly collectable original UK edition. Easily grades at EXCELLENT.
THE LABELS -  NEAR MINT  CONDITION
A lovely set of labels with barely any spindle detectable traces (one short light trace on one side). A near perfect set.
