THE SLEEVE

THE DIE-CUT, GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR, SOME SMALL INDENTED MARKS AND THERE IS GENERAL RUBBING TO THE FRONT, BACK, EDGES AND CORNERS. THERE IS A SMALL NICK AT THE DIE-CUT. THERE IS A STICKER ON THE BACK IN THE BOTTOM LEFT-HAND CORNER. THE SLEEVE HAS NO TEARS AND NO SPLITS AND THERE ARE NO INSCRIPTIONS. DESPITE THE RUBBING THE EDGES ARE STILL STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS STILL JUST LEGIBLE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH SOME CREASING, DISCOLOURATION AND A STAIN.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I NOTED THREE CLICKS EARLY DURING TRACK 4 ON SIDE ONE.

THE LABELS

THE FAMOUS “SWIRL” VERTIGO LABELS (LARGE SWIRL ON THE SIDE B LABEL) ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PER LABEL. THE ORIGINAL RECORD SHOP - VIRGIN RECORDS OF PLYMOUTH HAVE INK-STAMPED EACH LABEL WITH THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS.
