This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AWESOME!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!

WHAT A FANTASTIC SET OF INSERTS!!!!  Better still - I dont really need to go into detail about the ULTRA fragile Gatefold Laminated Cover - because that grades MINT(Minus) aswell!!!!  But for accuracies sake - I will, just in case someone may think I have missed something.  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated Gatefold Cover is in AMAZING condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), PERFECT shape to ALL corners, NO creases (cover is PERFECTLY flat looking!), STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in AMAZING condition with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, PERFECT flipbacks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AMAZING COVER!!!!  And lastly - even the ULTRA fragile outer box has remained in BRILLIANT condition - and WAY better than 99% of all others that turn up for sale!!!!  The BOTTOM part of the Outer Box is in BRILLIANT condition with ALL FOUR CORNERS perfectly intact with NO repairs of ANY kind!!!!  It is still VERY clean and white looking, has NO writing, and shows barely ANY wear AT ALL!!!!  There is a VERY minor beginning of a split along a small part of 1 bottom edge (on the VERY bottom - NOT on the corners!) - though this does NOT go through to the inside of the box (GUARANTEED!), is PERFECTLY strong, and this is a VERY nice bottom box indeed!!!!  The bottom box MUST grade Very Good++ if not better and is EXTREMELY hard to find with ALL FOUR CORNERS perfectly intact!!!!  The top part of the box is again VERY presentable indeed!!!!  It still retains a VERY white look with barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and has a PERFECT top picture with NO rubbing AT ALL!!!!  It displays barely ANY grubbyness AT ALL, and has NO rubbing, NO sticker tears, NO writing, and NO ringwear!!!!  ALL FOUR CORNERS are still holding together VERY nicely indeed - though the top left corner shows minor evidence of a small repair (though this is PERFECTLY strong - and there is NO tape!). 3 of the edges display nothing more than some VERY minor surface rubbing/VERY light wear, with only the top edge (see picture) having 2 or 3 VERY small areas of minor surface paper loss.  But there is absolutely NO doubt AT ALL this is still a VERY presentable top box lid and WAY better than most - and please take a VERY good at my pictures for I grade very VERY strictly indeed!!!!  It must MEGA strictly grade Very Good(PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better!!!!  THIS AMAZING BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
