The vinyl:
*QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 150g*
EX.

She is in lovely condition with only a couple of insignificant light marks to her.
I have just listened to her ALL THE WAY THROUGH and didn't find any jumps or skips..Just a deep and rich sound reproduction with barely ANY background noise! All I noticed was a couple of very light pops which disappear as soon as they emerge.
I gave her a gentle vacuum clean and she now sounds wonderfully rich and clear.
Even the run-ins are lovely and quiet.
Flat and shiny vinyl.
SOUNDS FAB

The Labels:
EX+.

They are in great condition....Just a handful of very light spindle marks-only visible only when angled towards the light and really looking for them.
NO WRITING.

The Cover:
VG.

1st press fully laminated cover here.
There are quite a few small crescents of spidering the front, near the opening, with a lot less to the back laminate.  As well as some small fingers of spiderinf emanating from the seams-lovely SOLID condition.
There is a knock to the top right corner, but nothing terrible.
No writing
No splits
Wonderfully strong spine and legible.

The Inner:
VG.

It is the correct lyric inner with the lyrics to one side and the credits for the album to the other.
No writing.
There is a split to the bottom as well as a small one to one of the sides and a small degree of feathering to the opening. 

SOUNDS GREAT AND IS A VERY EARLY PRESSING-WOULD MAKE A LOVELY EDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. THE VINYL IS THE STAND-OUT PIECE HERE!
