Original UK LP

Vertigo (6360 013)

 UK original on the highly collectable Vertio swirl label. Housed in a matt gatefold sleeve. Comes with the original Swirl inner sleeve.

The sleeve is a solid vg condition. We have not used brightness correction on the photos of the sleeve as the brightness will wash out any problems with the sleeve, the problems we want you to see so you can be happy with what you've bought. We are being cautious with our grading here, it is a solid sleeve but does have several different issues. There is a tiny sticker tear top right front, rubbing to the edges (mostly the top edge) and some chipping and paper loss at the top of the spine. Otherwise just some light usual handling wear. No writing

Comes with the poly lined swirl inner sleeve in a wonderful excellent + condition.

Both labels are in near mint condition. There is no spindle wear and just a few spider marks on the b side label and only two on the a side label. There is no writing, no tears and no stickers.

The record still has original sheen and is overall in excellent condition. In natural daylight it grades as near mint with an almost flawless surface. Under a very strong light source there is nothing major to report, just some ultra light paper scuffing. No feelable marks. Playback is superb, easily near mint with no sign of any groovewear.

Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.

All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.

Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
