Best I have ever had the pleasure to view.
First issue HOWARDS PRINTERS ,opening gatefold sleeve in EXCELLENT condition. Rare textured outer faces to replicate the cobbling effect on houses/street. ONLY found on the earliest first issues. What a feel to this gatefold. Clean and freshly pressed appearance. Spine square and solid, uncrushed clearly showing title. Pink vertigo spiral logo projects prominently in upper right, unfaded and in perfect symmetry. Corners showing their grey tips. Minimal ring wear. Edge wear oh so slight, hardly noticeable. No discoloration and coloration of the grey, black and white inks are strong and precise as if printed only yesterday .Opens to perfect inner faces. Remarkable condition as most are found heavily worn and damaged. Minor rub on spine and no other damage to report !!!
Inner spiral sleeve in excellent format . The original with date of release on lower left corner . NO rips/tears. Poly lining tight. Just some age discoloration around outer edges. Beautiful collectors’ item.
Spiral labels
Black and white vertigo swirl with a tremendous mesmeric effect. Near MINT- with NO mottling, peeling or lifting. Spindle trace not visible . Stunning !
Vinyl
Appears unmarked under ordinary light conditions . Mirror like sheen very similar to mint vinyl. Highly polished surfaces and convey a stunning visual appearance.
Audio
Best I have heard from this release. Mostly excellent, with clear channels which operate in sensational style. Hardly any surface disturbance . Absolutely awesome tones . NO pops. NO hisses. Audio graded from my Project/Cambridge hi fi system . Outstanding aural delivery!
Absolutely awesome example of a monumental vintage classic . Almost impossible to locate in this condition . True investment quality .
