Condition
The Gatefold sleeve is designed and photographed by Marcus Keef. This has the credit to Jim Simpson/Big Bear Managament on the inner gatefold. These 1st issues were quickly withdrawn due to contractual disputes between the band and Big Bear.
The sleeve displays just a little light general wear with a small amount of scuffing at the corners & edges.
The label features the large swirl logo above spindle and 'VERTIGO' text below. The labels remain very clean.
The vinyl is very clean with just a coulple of light cosmetic marks.
This vinyl, has a deep gloss sheen and excellent surfaces with just a few very light paper scuffs and light surface marks under bright light. It shows few signs of play, and is an excellent example. It plays with great dynamic audio throughout.
