Wheels of Fire - Original US Issue

Rare original 1969 US ATCO Records stereo 2LP set presented with tan and plum labels with brown company name in white stripe right above centre hole. Vinyls are presented in sturdy inner pasted gatefold foil picture sleeve.

Condition: VG+(+) (Record 1 Vinyl & labels)/VG+(+) (Record 2 Vinyl & labels)/VG+(+) (Picture Cover)
Side 1 and 3 are in straight close to perfect condition with just a couple light, and fine sleeve marks or a single small, light and inaudible mark.
Side 2 and 4 has a few inaudible surface marks of which some are sleeve marks and is graded VG+.
All labels are perfect and the overall vinyl grading is close to nearperfect VG+(+).
Front picture cover perfect, back has hints of ringwear and a little mid-right top creasing.
Cover has some very fine corners wear - next to nothing - and just a little spine edge wear, but NONE on seams and other edges. The inside of the cover is perfect. Cover varies between perfect, near perfect and VG+ - hence the close to near perfect grading - a more than decent copy of this 40 year old album.
