This is an incredibly rare absolutely gorgeous original 1971 copy of Joni Mitchell's classic of classics, Blue, on Reprise LP MS-2038. Original label with no Warner logo. Still in the original shrinkwrap!! The disc is pretty much completely perfectly mint. I don't even see the slightest sleeve scuff or hear the slightest tiny tick or crackle. Plays flawlessly. The best playing copy I have ever come across that wasn't actually new. Just beautiful.  The cover has barely the slightest issue at all. Protected in the plastic it has barely been touched. There is a touch of staining at t s upper left corner (see photo) but it looks like if one were to remove the shrink it could be cleaned right off with a swipe of a cloth. It is easily about the best first-pressing cover I have ever seen. Usually this cover is very worn, even when it was well cared-for. Almost all copies have terrible ringwear and fading. This is a top copy in every sense. It even has the original blue inner. Im not showing the inside of the gatefold because the shrinkwrap prevents it from being opened. You can see clearly the whole thing is just about as perfectly mint as you could hope for. A perfect player and an unbelievably clean cover. Almost unbeatable.
