THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE SPACESHIP VERTIGO ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES
THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP IS THE ONLY AREA WITH A TINY SPECVK OF RUB
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES JUST HAVE A SPECK OF WEAR TO THE RIGHT CORNERS PLUS A COUPLE OF RANDOM PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH.
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE DELICATE DEEP BROWN COLOUR IS ALL THERE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM TIP. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT . NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND SPLIT, BUT THIS COPY IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. NO SPLITS , CREASES OR WRINKLES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THE SURFACE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!
