COLOSSEUM - VALENTYNE SUITE
STUNNING MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
LARGE VERTIGO SPIRAL STEREO PRESS
'A PHILIPS RECORD' ON THE LABEL TO DENOTE A FIRST PRESS
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
-
- CATALOGUE:VERTIGO V01 (THE FIRST ALBUM RELEASED ON THIS LABEL)
- MATRIX:8867751 1Y//1 420 1 1 1 / 2Y//1 420 1 1 122
- PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT DENOTES A VERY FIRST PRESS
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LARGE SWIRL LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESS AND CAN BE IDENTIFIED EASILY BY THE FACT THAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL ARE THE WORDS ' A PHILLIPS RECORD PRODUCT'
THE LARGE SWIRL WAS ONLY ON THE FIRST PRESSES OF THIS ALBUM, AND COUPLED WITH THE Y1 MATRIX NUMBERS THIS GUARANTEES A FIRST ISSUE . THE WHITE SIDE JUST COULD NOT BE WHITER. IT IS TOTALLY CLEAN AND IN MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS AGAIN 100% PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT.
EVEN WHEN EXAMINED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. WITH AN INCREDIBLE LOUD CUT.THIS IS A GREAT PROGRESSIVE SOUND GENERATED BY THIS VINYL
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
I CANNOT FAULT THE CLARITY OF THE PERFORMANCE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,
AS IMPORTANTLY ,THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING, AND A REALLY GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW CLEAN THIS VINYL IS WOULD BE TO LISTEN TO THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE ONE, WHICH AS THE TRACK APPEARS TO END GOES DEATHLY SILENT THEN GRADUALLY THE MUSIC RETURNS BEFORE THE FINAL FADE OUT.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS
THE AUDIO GRADES MINT
TAKE A LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
THE HARDEST THING TO FIND IS AN UNRUBBED NON LAMINATED SLEEVE. PARTICULARLY THIS TYPE WHERE THE COLOURS ARE CONTRUCTED TO GIVE A POWDERY FEEL TO THE SURFACE. LIKE THE BLACK SABBATH DEBUT ALBUM,
THIS SLEEVE WAS PRONE TO RUBBING AND WHEN IT DID A GREEN HUE APPEARED WHICH WAS THE BASE COLOUR USED ON THE DESIGN. THIS ONE HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND ALL OF THE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED.
THERE IS A LIGHT BAND OF GREYING VISIBLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE FRONT SURFACE
TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.TWO EQUALLY SMALL ONES ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE SHOW SOME LIGHT SHELF RUB ALONG THE SUREFACES
THE SPINE HAS PERFECT COLOURS AND TYPEFACE AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS HAVE A TINY SPECK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP SHOWING THAT THE LP HASN'T BEEN PULLED FROM THE COVER VERY OFTEN AS THERE ARE NO THUMB NAIL NICKS ON THE EDGES
THE REAR SURFACE IS A RICH AND VIBRANT AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL SWIRLY INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT ORIGINAL CONDITION. A LITTLE GLUE AGEING ON THE TOP EDGE, AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN PENCIL IN ONE TOP CORNER
I HAVE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
