THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE VERTIGO LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE TINY 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 IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST SOME TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE AND ONE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON THE FINAL TRACK 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

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A SPECK OF STATIC IN BETWEEN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY 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 PHONOGRAM SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY DEEP CREASE LINES.THE SHEEN IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND LOOKS SUPERB. THERE IS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER 

THE  COLOUR IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, AND THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR THIS SLEEVE

THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNER RUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER AND A LITTLE MORE TO THE RIGHT. THE MIDDLE OF THE SURFACE IS PERFECT.

THE SPINE HAS A SMALL SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS PLUS ONE OR TWO PIN PRICKS OF WHITE ON THE LEADING EDGES

THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH A SPECK OF BURRING THE MIDDLE.

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A COUPLE OF LINES ON THE SPINE AND ATWO SMALL SPECKS OF RUB JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS FIRST PRESS AND IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE  EXCELLENT PLUS  !!!

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT

GARRY
