All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected and cherished for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

Vinyl Condition: Visually the vinyl is in Ex to Nr Mint Condition - This 1st Press Vinyl has Barely ever been played with only light use over the last 44 years with NO needle mark scratches or any other bad marks or blemishes that I can visually see or detect on close inspection that dosn't affect the Audio Playback performance in anyway - When examined Under bright lights it only shows some very minimal light hairlines and some mild light wispy scuff lines from disc removal from the inner sleeve (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall excellent condition on both sides) - The vinyl still retains all it's original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen - It would be very hard to find a better copy of this Rare 1st Mono Pressing Record it's a Superb Example!!!  

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as Near Mint  - There are No Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away but absolutely nothing of any consequence that will spoil your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynanmic Mono Audio performance!!! 

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 44 years it would obviously benefit from a professional clean  before play as to reduce further any light static dust crackle that is still present

Labels Condition: EX+  The turquoise blue labels are both In Superb condition with Little evidence showing of Spindle usage marks or Trails showing across any of the Labels with only very minimal usage wear around the spindle hole  

Cover Condition: Mint-  The Robert Stace laminated gatefold picture sleeve cover with the 8 Page photo booklet stapled inside the cover (This Album comes with the original and true and correct First Press designated Mono Sleeve - There is No Mono/Stereo Peep Hole on the back of cover) - On close inspection it still shows Its original glossy shine that's totally intact and near mint and perfect - The cover Looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and very clean and showing all it's original bold vivid rich colours on outside and inside of cover - The only blemishes I can find is some very very little and light storage edge and corner wear that is not that noticable - With regards to the Laminate It's near on perfect just unbelievable that's because it's been protected with a thick polythene plastic cover during its 44 years lifetime - If I'm going to be over critical and look hard there is three minute laminate wrinkles along middle of spine edge front and a tiny laminate bubble at front bottom corner (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall Superb condition of cover) the laminate on back of cover and down the spine is virtually mint perfect with no obvious blemishes to see

  Photo Book Condition: MINT- (Intergal stapled 8 page book inside cover) The Photo book is Superb still very securely stapled and attached to inside of cover (has never really been opened and looked at more than once or twice in 44 years) All pages are virtually in perfect pristine untouched and are unblemished and of mint looking condition

The Spine Condition: Mint- The white spine is totally clean intact and virtually perfect very straight and rigid with all original black written text still showing to be very Pristine bold clear and legible

Inner Sleeve: EX The original Decca Poly-lined white Sleeve with text printed on the sleeve is in Excellent condition  clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes to be seen - Apart from one small nick at the top of cover and two very small nicks near the bottom of cover (hardly that noticable) and has minimal and usual light yellow age tinges.

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
