THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP 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 ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES 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 IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . TWO PERFECT UNPLAYED DISCS
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
I HAVE DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED SET AS UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON ALL 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
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN THREE TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

UNLAMINATED ROBOR GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.THERE NOT ONE IOTA OF COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING AND EVERY INCH OF THE SURFACE IS PRISTINE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST A SPECK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE DELICATE GREY COLOUR IS ALL THERE AND THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY RUBBING TO THE TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE WHITE SLIVER ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS
THE TWO POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE ARE THE CORRECT ISSUES FOR THE ALBUM HAVING 817 PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER MEANING JANUARY 1978 ( ALBUM RELEASED IN MAY) THEY ARE BOTH TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT. SOME AGEING TO BOTH LEFT EDGES ONLY
