G/F sleeve
UK Vertigo small swirl 6360029
Complete with poly lined swirl inner sleeves.
Each side fully play tested on my Michell Gyrodeck turntable - sounds and plays superb - Excellent reproduction and quality - a really enjoyable listen.
My personal copy which I've owned for over 3 decades. I have recently upgraded to a NM copy so selling this, now my spare one. This has been well cared for and only played occasionally in my ownership. Issued on collectable Vertigo Swirl label and overall in fine condition.
I loved listening to this a final time. the playback is superb and there are no issues to report. A light background crackle was heard in places but only rarely. No pops, clicks jumps or anything that spoils the listening experience. Overall playback experience is excellent and very enjoyable.
Vinyl is a visual very strong VG++, only light hairlines, nothing deep, fast approaching NM. Both sides have a nice shine and there are no horrid marks or scratches. You won't be disappointed- it's a lovely copy.
Labels are clean - no issues
Original spiral inner sleeve has writing to one side with no splits.
The gatefold sleeve is clean and only has light wear. The inside sleeve is super clean and looks great. The spine is not damaged - it is intact, strong, clean with just a little wear at corners. There are no side or seam splits to the sleeve.
The top right front corner of the sleeve just above the Vertigo swirl is discoloured and may be residue / marks from a former sticker. The inner gatefold behind this has a very small tear also indicating a sticker was removed in the past. This tear is very minor and hard to see but if you zoom in on the photo of the topleft inner you can see it. Overall graded VG+.
Photos show condition well.
Overall the grading done under bright light is as follows:
Playback - Great quality audio playback.
Vinyl - VG++
Gatefold sleeve - VG+
