This is an absolutely gorgeous original 1971 copy of Joni Mitchell's classic of classics, Blue, on Reprise LP MS-2038. Original label with no Warner logo. The disc is just beautiful-- pretty much perfectly mint. There is one single very faint tick to be heard at the beginning of side one, but really barely at all, hardly noticeable, and only once. Aside from that it plays absolutely flawlessly and just beautifully. It is really in remarkably fantastic shape. You rarely find copies that sound this close to perfect. The cover is just gorgeous as well, with nearly no ringwear at all! Usually this cover is in truly awful condition, as the blue ink would easily rub off and it would get bad ringwear even if sitting untouched. This copy is just gorgeous with very little wear. Look at the photos! It is definitely a high-grade first-pressing cover. The only real flaw is a corner ding and crease at the lower right (see photo), which is not bad. Truly this is a near-perfect player and an unbelievably clean cover. Hard to beat.
