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 IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES (TOTALLY NON SOUNDING)
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 JUST THE ODD RANDOM SPECK OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY 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 HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.THE SHEEN IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND LOOKS SUPERB.
THE BLACK COLOUR IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, AND THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR THIS SLEEVE
THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , ONE EVEN SMALLER ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY DING TO IT
THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIPS REMAIN UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS JUST OUTSTANDING. 100% FLAT UNSQUASHED.THERE ARE TWO TINY FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS.THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN AND STILL WHITE AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS HAS A VERY FAINT SHADOW OF LIGHT BROWNING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES, BUT IS OTHERWISE STILL VERY WHITE. A COUPLE OF TINY LINES ALONG THE PERIMETER EDGES
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS FIRST PRESS WHICH WAS RELEASED ON APRIL 25TH 1980. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS THE CODE 15803 WHICH DECRYPTED MEANS 15.3.80 IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NO HEAVY CREASES JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER CREASE LINES, UNSPLIT , AND A LITTLE GLUE MOTTLING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
