The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  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, a few small light hairlines, 1 mark (NON sounding - it looks like a pressing mark), and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO nasty loud pops, only the VERY occassional isolated click, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and only some slight crackle on the run on grooves and occassional gap (virtually ZERO in the music).  There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion!!!!  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 Stickered Flipback MONO Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO yellowing and only some slight rubbing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS INCREDIBLY RARE IN MONO - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
