I think this is a first pressing of this extraordinary Vinyl recording from 1966. LPB-711. It was part of the collection of Jazz classics owned by my late husband. I am selling them as I would like them to be enjoyed. They haven’t been played since 1990.  The vinyl record is in perfect condition, I would almost say mint. A few hairline surface scratches but no pits or lumps or deep scratches really like mint. I have played it (not my taste I’m afraid) and it is perfect. The Matrix are etched Side one B-711-A   -BP-  Saturn Side two B-711-B  -BP-  Saturn The word Saturn looks hand drawn. I will try to photograph it. I haven’t cleaned the vinyl as I don’t want to damage it  The label is clean and perfect I cannot even see any spindle marks on it. The cover is really strange, it looks hand made. It is clean with a little age wearing on the front and back but really in excellent condition, the spine is perfect and the corners are good. There are no ring marks as it is made of very strong board. There are a few tiny, tiny wrinkles or bends where the record has been taken in and out of the cover. The reverse has a little stain on the bottom left hand corner and some age marks but apart from that is in excellent condition. The original inner cover is again in excellent condition. It has some writing on it top right corner just saying Sun Ra Magic City. I am not a professional seller so I have tried to describe the condition of the vinyl and the cover as accurately as I can but do ask if you have any questions and I will try to answer speedily.
