The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED 2 OR 3 TIMES AT THE VERY MOST!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 2 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, only a VERY few light clicks on one track from one of the TINY surface marks (these do NOT last long AT ALL), NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO distortion either and NO groovewear!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! 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 Cover is in STUNNING condition and INCREDIBLY hard to find like this!!!! This cover was 1st Pressed as a white and unlaminated cover and naturally usually suffers terribly with discolouration, staining, grubbyness and heavy edgewear.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  This cover is in SUPERB condition and INCREDIBLY hard to find like this!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), NO rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness AT ALL, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL (MEGA rare on this cover), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed), and NO writing!!!!
