Description
Artist: Status Quo Title: Piledriver Label: Vertigo Cat No: 6360 082 Year: 1972 Country: UK
I am in the process of selling my Record Collection, I always purchased the best copies I could find. This is the 1st Issue of `Piledriver` By Status Quo. Released in 1972 first issued on the Vertigo Spiral (Swirl) label (later issues were on the Spaceship label design). What makes this copy so rare is that the vinyl is in Top M- condition. This also has the first issue gatefold sleeve with no mention of `Howards Printers` (these were used on the Spaceship issues) Matrix: Side 1 6360 082 1Y1 - Side 2 - 6360 082 2Y1
Vinyl (M-) Plays Great with no sticks or jumps etc, even under bright halogen lights I cant see even the usual sleeve removal scuffs, no feelable scratches! Top Copy
Inner Sleeve (EX) - comes with Vertigo Swirl `Made In England` cellophane inner
Labels - Lovely Clean Swirl labels, no visible spindle lines, showing hardly played
Sleeve (EX) - Original 1st issue matt finish gatefold, no bad edgewear or ringwear, being a white matt sleeve it shows some colour ageing but still a nice EX copy (Please see photos for complete overview)
Hard to find these classic rock vinyl`s in top condition
I am in the process of selling lots of obscure & rare Records/CD`s, I will be posting regularly why not check them out!
I use professionally made packers with card stiffeners & record removed from album cover
I use lots of photos to show as accurately as possible what you are getting (also I dont cut the corners of the record sleeve off the picture!!)
Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine below:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Near Mint, EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
