CLEAR BLUE SKY

- "JOURNEY TO THE INSIDE OF THE SUN"

VERTIGO 6360 013 Original UK First Issue with Spiral label A side. "A-1" & "2Y2" etch.

The last similar (in condition) copy sold last year on eBay for $332 - shipping out of the UK. There is only one UK pressing now on eBay - maybe a half grade or so higher, listed Buy It Now for $539 - shipping from Greece.  Please read all of the specific condition details below, before bidding - thanks.

Vinyl - Very Good Plus ... under close inspection in harsh lighting, has superficial sleeve scuffs, hairline scuffs and a few marks. None of these affect tracking / playback. Vinyl is super clean and retains very nice plating sheen. Labels are great, with some unobtrusive spindle trails.

As Play Graded, Side A (on a rating scale of 1 to 10 - 10, being compact disc quiet) - is 9.0 and Side B is 8.5. The very, very few clicks that are in any way discernible, modulate similar to light static - which some of them might be, since the weather here when I play tested this was extremely dry.

Jacket - Very Good Plus ... gatefold has light shelf wear and edge wear. Same is true of corners. All seams are solid and the spine print is mostly legible (see included photo).

Vertigo colored out (in Red) - the phrase "Play It Loud". Some shelf wear on inner gatefold. Also light staining on rear cover. I have included detailed photos, so examine them carefully. Original Vertigo Spiral innersleeve has a bit of age discoloration including where factory glued the inner lining to outer paper.

I will pack this LP with extreme care and include tracking and insurance at my expense. 

Things I'd like you to know:

Low starting prices don't = low quality! The minimum grade vinyl I list is VG+ but most are NM- to NM or M-

Exceptions to the general grade category of the LP and Cover are specifically noted in the description in detail. Mint, of course, is Mint (SEALED) without qualification.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – WE WELCOME YOU

Email me (through 'Contact Seller') and I will quote shipping for you. Obviously, I have no way of tracking or confirming delivery to your residence – but I will be happy to provide the Customs ID number.

Friendly Seller:

I'm not paranoid, I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I don't jump to conclusions or have a defensive attitude about buyers and I don't breathe down buyers' necks for payment.

If you need an invoice – let me know - I'll be happy to prepare one, but other than that – if you want to continue shopping and combine auction wins, please just drop me a quick note. Bottom line – hassle free shopping.

SHIPPING NOTES:

All orders packed in LP Shipment grade mailing boxes.  The inside of the mailer is safely reinforced with recycled cardboard and / or Bubble wrap or Poly padding.

I ALWAYS provide delivery confirmation to you FREE of charge. Having said that – now and then, USPS Media Mail is going to be slower now because of the cutbacks - so, I will gladly, per your request, provide Priority shipping as an option at a similarly reasonable cost.

If you know you'll want Priority, please kindly alert me before you pay for the item.

I combine shipping on multiple auction wins.

I'll be listing many more in a diverse range of musical styles in coming weeks, so bookmark a listing and check back in.
