Description

Detailed seller ratings:

Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not bid if you expect something different from the listing.

Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.

ANY ITEM THAT EXCEEDS £46 IN VALUE MUST BE SENT SIGNED-FOR SHIPPING AND INSURED TO FULL VALUE - THIS PROTECTS YOU AND ME FROM ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS IN TRANSIT. PLEASE WAIT FOR FINAL INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. THANKS.

VERTIGO 

UK 1st PRESS:
 

1. Small swirl logo above spindle on B side

2. 'VERTIGO' text above spindle hole

3. '420' country code (UK) in stamped matrices

4. With Swirl inner sleeve

5. Matt gatefold sleeve

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH

PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)

VINYL:

6 3 6 0  0 8 0           1  Y // 1   4 2 0     1   1    2 

6 3 6 0  0 8 0           2  Y // 1   4 2 0     1   1   4 

Excellent looking vinyl with only very light hairlines visible under strong light, with little effect on the audio! Plays very nicely with only light background noise (crackle) on run ins and in between tracks which is faintly audible on the quietest moments. Loud music covers the background noise, so plays as EX to EX+.

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks, no loud pops, no repetitive clicks.

OUTER SLEEVE:

Nice copy with not much to wear edges or spine at all. Has some light wear to front where you can see the underlying seam showing through and some ringwear to rear. Otherwise excellent copy. No graffiti. 

LABELS:

Excellent, NO graffiti and only a few light spindle traces visible! Very nice condition!

INNER SLEEVE:

Vertigo swirl inner sleeve in fair condition, quite wrinkled and creased, slight seam splits. Poly liner intact.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
