STATUS QUO - WHATEVER YOU WANT
IN MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT MINUS!! PLAYTHROUGH
COMPLETE WITH NEAR MINT !!!! SLEEVE
VERTIGO SPIRAL LABEL
- CATALOGUE:VERTIGO 6360 175
- MATRIX: 9102037 1Y//1 v ESTR 1 2 L / 2Y//3 v ESTR 1 2 L
- ' STRAWBERRY ' MACHINE STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX SIDE ONE
- ' ARCHIE CAMERON ' ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX SIDE ONE
THIS I BELIEVE IS AN EXPORT COPY OF WHATEVER YOU WANT, PRESSED ON THE VERTIGO SPIRAL LABEL WHICH MAKES THIS QUITE UNIQUE. THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE MOST DEFINITELY THE UK MACHINE STAMPED NUMBERS AND THE ' STRAWBERRY' REFERS TO STRAWBERRY STUDIOS IN THE UK. I AM NOT 100% CERTAIN OF THIS BUT THE INFO IN THE DEAD WAX DOES INDEED MAKE ME BELIEVE IT WAS PRESSED IN THE UK FOR EXPORT.THE INFO IS IDENTICAL TO THE UK PRESSINGS ON THE SPACESHIP LABEL
IN ADDITION IT HAS A MAGNIFICENT FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH A DIFFERENT IMAGE ON THE BACK TO THE UK PRESS. A MUST FOR QUO COLLECTORS. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1979 ISSUE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
SO A VERY COLLECTIBLE LABEL THAT IS IN REALLY NICE CONDITION. THE WHITE SIDE HAS A FEW DARK SPECKS ON IT BUT IS OTHERWISE VERY CLEAN. THE SWIRL SIDE IS UNBLEMISHED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS SUPERB!. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS
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, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS A LITTLE OCCASIONAL AND VERY LIGHT BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES OR LINKING GROOVES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR 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
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE ( FAR SUPERIOR TO THE UK ISSUE IN MY OPINION)
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.THE LAMINATE IS VERY HIGHLY POLISHED
THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, ONE FAINT LINE RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNERS, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PERFECTLY LAMINATED AND THE SURFACE IS UNMARKED AND UNRUBBED, AND EVEN THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS ALL THERE AND THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY RUBBING TO THE TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK
THE REAR SURFACE DEPICTS A DIFFERENT IMAGE TO THE UK PRESSING AND IS LIKE THE FRONT HIGHLY POLISHED. THERE IS A SLIVER OF AGEING UNDER THE LAMINATE ON THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
