I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO HANDLED BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE METICULOUSLY. INCREDIBLE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VINTAGE VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM ABOUT..LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID, AS I HAVE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE SECOND

MY LONG STANDING SERIOUS COLLECTOR CUSTOMERS WILL APPRECIATE THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PRISTINE MUSEUM GRADE  ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. BOTH ARE FAULTLESS,  AND HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE WHICH IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST ONE SMALL AND VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS EVEN SHARDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE AND AS I PLACED THE LP ONTO MY TURNTABLE, THIS PUSHED THROUGH AND BECAME EXPOSED

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. I CANNOT SEE ANY MARKS ON IT WHATSOEVER, AND IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE OR TWO WISPY HAIRLINES

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 AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT

THIS VINYL HAS ONLY HAD THE COUPLE OF PLAYS AND CLEARLY HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH CARE ON A TOP HI FI SYSTEM. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND THE NOTES ARE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED,

THE VINYL PRODUCED NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE BAREST TRACE OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE QUIETEST SPOTS.

THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ONLY AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SIILENT PASSAGES

I ALSO HEARD PERHAPS TWO TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

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

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UNLAMINATED  GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE IS ONE OF THOSE THAT IS NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT SERIOUS COLLECTORS WOULD WANT TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTIONS. DUE ENTIRELY TO THE POWDERY COLOURED SURFACE WHICH RUBS ALMOST BY LOOKING AT IT, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT YOU WILL SEE WILL BE HEAVILY WORN AND RING WORN AS WELL

THIS ONE IS AS CLEAN AS I HAVE SEEN FOR MANY A YEAR. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO PLACE THE SLEEVE IN A SEPARATE OUTER SLEEVE, AND REMOVE AND STORE THE VINYL AWAY FROM THE SLEEVE. THE RESULT BEING ONE SUPERBLY LOOKED AFTER AND ALMOST MINT CONDITION SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FIRST OF ALL IT'S COMPLETELY FLAT AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.AND INCREDIBLY FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE SEEN, NOT ONE SMALL LINE BY THE SPINE!!!.

ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

EVEN THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP LEFT ONE

AMAZINGLY THE TOP EDGE IS FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR APART FROM A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP ENDS, WHILST THE ONLY SMIDGEN OF RUB IS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL AND IS AS GOOD AS IT IS BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED IT, THAT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED

THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE GREEN SURFACE INTACT. AND ALL OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE BEING PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IN ADDITION THERE IS NO FINGER TO THUMB SQUASHING OF THE SPINE. A TINY PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME  IMMACULATE STATE AS THE FRONT AGAIN NOT EVEN ONE SMALL LINE BY THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE INNER PANELS, JUST ONE MINUSCULE PATCH OF WHITE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT ONE

THE ORIGINAL  POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN  UNSPLIT CONDITION. LIGHT AGEING TO THE EDGES

WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT THIS SLEEVE GRADES  MINT MINUS!!!

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