Condition: Label: Held up to a strong light I can barely see three spindle marks on Side A and none on Side B. The black colour looks as new and the silver writing is super clean. Near Mint. Vinyl: The record itself is In superb condition, I have not come across one this good before, looks brand new with extremely wispy light surface marks from where the record has been slipped out of the inner sleeve. It can only have been played once or twice. I have inspected it under strong light and you really do need a strong light to notice.I’m very fussy when grading records. Excellent ++ Inner Sleeve: Almost as new, some extremely light adding with age and no corner creasing. Excellent ++ Textured Sleeve: A truly fantastic example of this rare ‘Womans dress’ cover. The sleeve is textured and super clean. Some light storage wear to two corners and a little at the bottom. Be hard to find a better copy than this,a truly great example. I'm very fussy about grading vinyl and take my time and give the most honest grading system that I can, I very very rarely label something as Mint unless the item is in its original shrink wrap with no storage wear at all.
