This Record has been Play Graded & Visually Graded against the Rare Record Price Guide`s Grading structure ( See bottom of Add for an in-depth description)
Original 'Dark Blue' Gatefold Cover Grades = Very good ( The opening seam's old glue has now dried out and needs to be re-glued, this I could have done quite easily myself, but thought best to leave for the new owner to undertake, as you may well have a different preference of glue to use, aside from this it has minor wear but no seam splits or anything else to be concerned over! )
Labels = Very Good ( At some point a small sticker has been stuck to each label, leaving behind a small amount of glue residue, again as the per the cover above needing a spot of glue, I'm sure using the right glue removal product this could be removed if desired... Some mild mold white patches are on the label as well, again as clearly pictured )
Black polylined Inner Sleeve Grades = Good ( Has a small rip to the polylining in the center hole to both sides as clearly pictured 
2 Posters & 2 Postcard Stickers Grade = Excellent 
Vinyl Side 1 Strictly Visually Grades = Very Good- ( Some very light surface scratches are present, nothing ghastly! )  Vinyl Side 2 Strictly Visually Grades =  Very Good- ( Some very light surface scratches are present, nothing ghastly! )
Vinyl Side 1 'Critical' Track By Track Play Grade =  1. Very Good- ( Has a few background surface sound static related pops heard in the 'heart beating' intro and other minor background surface sound heard in places ) 2. Very Good- / Very Good at best 3. Very Good- / Very Good at best 4. Very Good / Very Good+ at best 5. Very Good ( Couple of tiny pops in in the introduction ~ In its quietest section which is a real tester as any audio defects would be apparent, it's a respectable listen!  )

 Vinyl Side 2 'Critical' Track By Track Play Grade =   1. Very Good ( Has a couple of couple of small pops heard when the 'money sound is going into the till/register' ) 2. Very Good- / Very Good at best ( Has a couple of pops on the melodic introduction, and a couple of pops at the start of the last verse ) 3. Very Good 4. Very Good  5. Very Good
Conclusion = Although cosmetically and audibly it's not a high grading copy, it's still great to listen too and is respectable in my humble opinion, plus if you haven't got £800+ to spend on a Mint copy, then this will be fine for most collectors

 
The photo below clearly highlights the difference between the 'dark blue' cover on the right you are getting in this auction, in comparison with the 'black' cover found on later pressings
