THE SLEEVE

THE GOLD GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION.  THERE IS SOME WEAR AND THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO THE EDGES & CORNERS. THE EDGES & SPINE ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT. THE PROBLEM THAT LETS THIS SLEEVE DOWN A BIT IS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER ‘PROTECTED’ THE SPINE WITH A STRIP OF CLEAR TAPE. THIS TAPE HAS NOW FALLEN OFF LEAVING STAINS ON FRONT AND BACK ALONG THE SPINE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE POLY-LINED VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME DISCOLOURATION, CAUSED BY THE ADHESIVE USED TO ATTACH THE POLY-BAG TO THE PAPER SLEEVE. THERE ARE SOME CREASES.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW SLIGHT MARKS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT BOTH BRILLIANT SIDES.

THE LABELS

THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PER SIDE.
