The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl isnt perfect visually - but most importantly this record plays VERY well indeed!!!!  And it is important to remember just how SERIOUSLY RARE this LP really is!!!!  It may not be visually perfect - but it plays BRILLIANTLY!!!!  Visually the record has NO nasty deep scratches - though it does have quite a few light hairlines, a few light scufflines, and only some VERY light paper scuffing only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD IS STILL VERY SHINY LOOKING!!!!  And despite the visual imperfections mentioned above it is great to find that the record plays MUCH better still!!!!  It plays with only a VERY few isolated clicks/pops (only a VERY few and ALL are VERY light), NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle!!!! There is also some VERY slight low level background sound on the run on grooves ONLY - though this stops the moment the applause starts at the beginning of either side!!!!  There is NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must visually STRICTLY grade Good(Minus) if not better - though importantly the playing grade is MILES better still and this record plays BRILLIANTLY!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!!  The 1st Press Flipback FULLY Laminated Cover is in nice condition overall and still looks VERY presentable - though there are a few points to mention (see below)!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, some slight roughening/wear to the spine (NO splits), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases, and NO writing!!!!  There is also a VERY small and virtually PERFECTLY repaired tear around half way down the opening edge - though this is virtually UNNOTICEABLE and is PERFECTLY strong!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! The unlaminated back has NO writing, only some typical slight yellowing, a thin area of staining along part of the spinal edge, an absolutely TINY and virtually PERFECTLY repaired tear on the opening edge (see picture), and NO grubbyness!!!!  The cover must grade Good if not better - and still looks VERY presentable!!!!  THIS LP MAY NOT BE PERFECT - BUT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS LP STILL DOES WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO - AND THAT IS PLAY VERY WELL INDEED!!!!  THE RECORD PLAYS BRILLIANTLY - AND THE COVER IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE TOO!!!!  SO THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE FOR SOMEONE TO OWN A BRILLIANT PLAYING AND PRESENTABLE LOOKING 1ST PRESSING OF THIS ULTRA RARE LP AT A CHEAPER PRICE THAN THE HUGE FORTUNE REQUIRED TO OWN A MINT COPY!!!!  SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
