This very early A3/B3 pressing is in excellent condition.  Visually the vinyl is stunning and you can only see very faint hairlines under a bright light which I'm sure have only been caused by sleeve removal and there are certainly no scratches.  It comes complete with the obligatory posters and stickers.  This pressing is highly collectible in its own right as it was the first one released after the first pressing with the solid blue triangle label.  One of which I am selling also. 
I have listened to the entire LP and can confirm that the audio is deep and rich and plays with great clarity.  There is faint background crackle on Side One but no more than what you would expect on a vinyl that has been card for.  I only heard two clicks on play back during 'On The Run'.  The quieter sections during 'Great Gig' play very clearly when you consider the LP is over 40 years old.
Side Two in my opinion has been played less than Side One.  'Money' has superb audio with barely any interference, sonically it is stunning.  'Us And Them' continues in the same way and plays so clearly.  The audio on this side is absolutely stunning and plays with hardly any crackle at all and has to be the best Side Two of an A/3B3 pressing I have heard.  The final three tracks play with the same quality with perhaps just a little distortion on 'Eclipse' which is very common anyway.  Even during the heartbeat ending you cannot hear any background noise.  Fabulous audio quality and will not disappoint any fan!     The Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold cover is in great condition and only has slight age related wear I would say.  There is a little spotting around the edges that is very common with this black cover and slight shelf wear but overall it has been cared for very well, definitely one of the better ones I have seen for an A3/B3 pressing.  There is no writing or any other marks on the cover.  
The original posters are in superb condition with no rips or tears.  The stickers are also in great shape - both have the brown diagonal lines with Crack Back Patented and Fasprint on the reverse although on one the print has faded somewhat.  It also has the original black polylined sleeve.
