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 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 SWIRL

RARE UK 1ST PRESS:
 

1. Large swirl logo on B side label, VERTIGO below spindle hole

2. 1Y1/2Y1 matrix

3. Laminated gatefold sleeve

4. VO price code box on rear sleeve

5. Swirl inner 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 0 6   1 Y // 1 ? 4 2 0  1  1  3

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

Plays remarkably well! This is not the impossibly rare mint final upgrader sadly but a VERY worthy collection filler that is in VG condition. It has been well played during its 42 year life but it still plays very well despite this with only light background crackle in run ins and quiet sections and the occasional light pop or click, some light background hiss on quiet sections but not intrusive. A few light scuffy sounds at the start of side 2 but soon disappears. There is NO groove distortion and the loud sections sound great, lovely and loud, excellent stereo separation, very nice tone on all frequencies. Great playing copy, just not much of a looker! Has numerous very fine hairlines and a few light surface scratches on both sides that have VERY LITTLE effect on playback, and I have played this through all the way (on headphones) to ensure there are NO repetitive clicks, NO jumps and NO sticks. May possibly improve with a thorough clean on a professional cleaning machine which I sadly do not have access to.

OUTER SLEEVE:

Excellent sleeve with intact laminate on the outer gatefold. No cracking or laminate lift, just a few creases to the laminate around the edges, but minor, nothing at all serious. Inner gatefold is unlaminated and is clean and free from graffiti, just a couple of spot of small ink removal (where the two inner faces have stuck together slightly and pulled the surface). Spine is square and reasonably legible.

LABELS:

Excellent, no graffiti, several spindle traces visible.

INNER SLEEVE/INSERT:

Poly lined swirl inner sleeve with no graffiti, no rips, no seam splits, but looks like a reproduction maybe...

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