COLOSSEUM - THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE YOU 

FONTANA STL 5510 Original 1st UK Pressing on the FONTANA Label

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some general remarks: This is not really a rare record. What makes this one special is the overall condition of the Vinyl and the Sleeve. It will be quite a task to find it in similar condition.  

I compare my pressings on top notch equipment, using the expensive BENZ MICRO SLR Gullwing MC-cartridge with the Micro Ridge cut diamond. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops.

 

The Vinyl: NEAR MINT

Held up into a very strong light I have difficulties detecting any hairlines at all. The Vinyl is clean and shiny. The playback is NEAR MINT throughout. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.

 

The Labels: NEAR MINT

 

The laminated Gatefold-Sleeve: NEAR MINT. Sharp Spine, no creases at all, no laminate bubbles. Just close to perfect.

 

Original Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT+ No splits at all. Just the faintest yellowing at the bottom of one side.

 

In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.

 

Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee mentioned above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.

 

I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.  

 

Good luck.
