The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) - with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.  This one is NOT and essentially it is still JET BLACK and VERY shiny indeed - with just a few lines / scufflines to either side.  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual!!!!  Almost ALL of the lines I just mentioned are completely IGNORED by the stylus, with NO skips, only a few light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  And for once there is NO HISS AT ALL - which is VERY rare on this record indeed!!!!  The sound quality itself is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and still plays very VERY well indeed!!!!  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 '09/70' Vertigo 'Date Coded' inner sleeve which is in GREAT condition still FULLY 'poly-lined' with just some slight yellowing!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Gatefold Cover is in GREAT condition overall - with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  It has NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, only some almost INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces to the edges & spine, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, some typical slight rubbing (which most copies of this LP always seem to have), NO stickers, a few TINY indentations to the left on the cover back (I found this LP stored in front of a copy of 'Sticky Fingers' so this explains it), NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO pull marks, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a VERY presentable cover indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
