I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO HANDLED BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE METICULOUSLY. INCREDIBLE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VINTAGE VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM ABOUT..LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID, AS I HAVE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE SECOND

MY LONG STANDING SERIOUS COLLECTOR CUSTOMERS WILL APPRECIATE THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PRISTINE MUSEUM GRADE  ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP

THE LABELS

THE VERTIGO SPIRAL LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE SPIRAL SIDE IS FAULTLESS, WHILST THE WHITE SIDE IS JUST PURE WHITE, UNBLEMISHED AND HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE WHICH IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE AND VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. I CANNOT SEE ANY MARKS ON IT WHATSOEVER, OTHER THAN A SMALL FACTORY MARK (NON SOUNDING) ON SIDE ONE, AND IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO CRACKLES

NO CLICKS OR POPS

NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND NO STATIC TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  MINT MINUS

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UNLAMINATED  HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FIRST OF ALL IT'S COMPLETELY FLAT AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.AND NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR WHATSOEVER

THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

AMAZINGLY THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL, WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE VERY RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS VERY LIGHT SHELF RUB SHOWING A FEW WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE

THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE GREY, BLACK AND WHITE SURFACE INTACT. AND ALL OF THE RED TYPEFACE BEING PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IN ADDITION THERE IS NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING OF THE SPINE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME  IMMACULATE STATE AS THE FRONT AGAIN NOT EVEN ONE SMALL LINE BY THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE INNER PANELS .

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN MAGNIFICENT UNSPLIT CONDITION, JUST NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES

WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT THIS SLEEVE GRADES  MINT MINUS 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
