Details:  First pressing of an absolute masterpiece! Lexington labels, deep groove, RVG, ear. This lp has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition: Visually VG+ and plays great! Both sides show light marks but still glossy, a weaker VG+ but still makes the grade. Play graded in full. Mostly plays a strong VG+ with great clarity for a 10”. “Lotus Flower” has some light crackle but the rest plays superb, wonderful copy of one of the greatest albums ever made!

Cover:  VG. Front looks nice. Seams have heavier rubbing but no splits or repairs. Back cover shows discoloration from age.
