The Record
Excellent condition
EX condition on this 1970 1st Pressing 636050-1Y and 636050-2Y,
a real timepiece looks great! a few spindle lines and stored upright in PVC jacket for many years.some light reoval lines only a real finders dream!
plays incredible with some very light background noise could benefit from a professional clean, we don't do this its a personal thing.
light "surface only" in the quieter passages intro to *Solitude* but the overall volume of the music is easily enjoyable on the 54 year old, super shiny clean fat pre oil crisis 70s vinyl (see pics) great swirl labels...almost zero marks on labels from play.
no writing stickers or tape to report.
"Vertigo Swirl" inner is a new quality repro along with a new lined sleeve.
the original swirl inner has lost its inner bag.
. please ask... , the original is here to maintain continuity.
The Cover
EXCELLENT Condition
Great original 1971 cover with UK "high gloss laminate finish" a verry good condition with almost zero ringwear to rear, no writing stickers or tape to report.
the top opening cover normally suffers this one is in good order with no serious around opening folding edge see top edge pic. nothing serious no *worrying faults!*
4 Good corners see photos , no splits or tears to worry about.
We use a card stiffener inside the box to help maintain the integrity of the sleeve box.
the reproduction poster is really nice quality clear clean and not a lot of handling evident, truly a collectors find.
no holes, tape or writing and no worrying faults a great near to mint sleeve is a peach *near mint* impossible to find....
any questions look at pics and ask.....

Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual only some background static only is noticeable in the quieter passages nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.
