THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  ORANGE VERTIGO LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND  WHITE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO 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 ARE JUST A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THERE IS JUST A LITTLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES ONLY

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST ONE IN THE DEAD WAX TO SIDE ONE BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS !!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.THE SHEEN IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND LOOKS SUPERB.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND AGAIN HAS A GLEAMING SURFACE. NO LINES ON ANY OF THE EDGES

THE WAFER THIN LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS FIRST PRESS . IT IS IMMACULATE. NO CREASES, WRINKLES, MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SEAM SPLITS
