THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE VERTIGO ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT . WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME LIGHT DULL SPECKLES ON A LITTLE OF THE VINYL ON EACH SIDE WHICH DO NOT CAUSE ANY SOUND ISSUES. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND ONE FINE AND SMALL HANDLING LINE ON TRACK ONE SIDE ONE.
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THERE IS NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THERE IS A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE RUN IN GROOVE AND IN ONE LINKING GROOVE
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAT 1-2 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THERE ARE FOUR TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES JUST HAVE A SPECK OF WEAR TO THE LEFT CORNERS AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE ALL THERE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS WHICH ARE SLIGHTLY RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH ONE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT . HAS AN INDENT PRESSURE LINE IN THE TOP BLUE SQUARE
THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND SPLIT, BUT THIS COPY IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. NO SPLITS , CREASES OR WRINKLES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THE SURFACE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
