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 MINUSCULE 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 AND THREE  SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO (ALL NON SOUNDING)

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

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND JUST THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES

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 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 PHONOGRAM 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 BLACK COLOUR IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, AND THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR THIS SLEEVE. JUST THE MOST MINUSCULE GREYING UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE. REALLY SMALL AND HARD TO SPOT ACTUALLY

THERE IS ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE , TWO  ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR .

THE VERY TIPS OF THE TOP CORNERS HAVE A SPECK OF RUB ON THEM

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END HAS ANY RUB

THE SPINE IS JUST OUTSTANDING. 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED.THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN AND STILL WHITE AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

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

THE REAR SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY IMMACULATE AND AGAIN HAS A GLEAMING SURFACE. ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE . A VERY LIGHT BORDER OF YELLOWING AROUND THE EDGES

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS FIRST PRESS WHICH WAS RELEASED ON APRIL 25TH 1980. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS THE CODE 15804 WHICH DECRYPTED MEANS 15.4.80 IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, UNSPLIT , A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM.

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