Side 1: SBPG 63692 A1, mother/stamper A C
Side 2: SBPG 63692 B1, mother/stamper A 5

Vinyl is held in Upton Printing Group manufactured picture cover laminated on front and over the spine - with hexagonal gold stereo sticker on upper back.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyls and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl has a very light degree of sleeve wear only breaking the otherwise supershimny surface - next to nothing. Labels suports the thouight that this copy was only played once or twice, and has a single barely noticeable short and far from complex spindtrace - very, very nice.

Front cover has a couple of very short - ca 5 mm's - wrinkles from spine, a single one along opening and a few thin, discontinued and short areas of laminate lift along spine - all in all ca 5 - 6 cm. Back is wonderfully clean with almost no signs of age or storage.
Seams are straight and intact - spine easily readable, opening without any rubbing - corners perfect and pointy except lower opening corner which has a faint dent - cover is graded straight near mint - a simply superb copy.
