VERTIGO
UK 1ST PRESS, VERTIGO SWIRL, "A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT" TEXT ON LABEL, ORIGINAL GATEFOLD, ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE - ALL ONLY 1ST UK PRESS! GREAT COPY!
FULLY PLAY GRADED!
PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)
VINYL: (STAMPED MATRICES)
8 5 2 6 8 4 1 Y * 2 4 2 0 1 1 7
8 5 2 6 8 4 2 Y // 1 4 2 0 1 1 6
Vinyl looks excellent, still very nice and shiny. Only a couple of light surface hairline scratches that have very little effect on playback and certainly not in the audio. Under direct halogen there are several fine paper-scuff/hairlines.
Audio: plays superbly throughout with no jumps, no sticks. Light background crackle on run in and in between tracks, main audio easily covers it. Songs are very nice, with very little interference. Couple of repetitive clicks in the in-between section of last two tracks on B side, not in the songs themselves. Plays very well overall, easily an EX to EX+
LABELS:
Original 1st press labels with "A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT" below 'VERTIGO' at the bottom of the label. Must have this text to be a 1st press. Large swirl logo above spindle and VERTIGO below spindle - again, must be this layout to be a 1st press. Nice and clean with thankfully NO graffiti. Just a few light spindle traces. EX+
OUTER SLEEVE:
Excellent condition with not too much shelf wear, front and back covers are excellent with no visible marks other than some very slight foxing - one of the better ones I've seen.
TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
Top edges are excellent with barely any wear, bottom edges have moderate wear. Nice overall though.
OPENING EDGES
Good condition, minor thumbing.
SPINE
Quite square, perfectly legible, some wear to top of spine, light to moderate wear at base of spine - still one of the better ones I've seen, most are totally worn and illegible.
INNER SLEEVE:
Original swirl inner sleeve in excellent condition with intact poly liner -original owner has written artist name and album title on one side.
POSTAGE AND PACKING:
I recycle as much existing material as possible and reuse record mailers if they are of good enough quality. Edges and corners are reinforced with packing tape. Stiffeners are used to strengthen and support the record.
Vinyl is removed from the outer gatefold to prevent any 'knifing' to the outer sleeve.
I ship in the UK using Royal Mail 2nd Class as it's a little cheaper for buyers. A certificate of postage is obtained for every item. Signed for delivery is available on request at extra cost. Please ask.
Feedback is left for buyers once they have contacted me and left feedback stating they are happy with their purchase. Should there be any issues, please contact me first.
I ship worldwide. Item will be shipped in board-stiffened mailers for maximum protection.
