Description
Large swirl, sleeve has track listings in wrong order ( with 2nd track on each side swapped over)
matrix nos are:
6360006 1Y//1v420 1 1 1
6360006 2Y//1v420 1 1 ?
Sleeve is in very good condition, clean, no splits or tears, a small bit of surface damage around the top of the spine area and general minor wear / creasing.
The Record is clean and shiny, there are several light marks / hairlines and a 1cm scratch on side 1 track 1 that generates 20 or so clicks at the start. These are noticeable on the run in then they gradually fade as the music kicks in. Apart from that it plays fine with strong clear sound, no distortion, no jumps, no sticking, there’s a bit of light crackle in quiet sections and a few quiet ticks in between tracks 2&3 on side 1. In the main it plays great but due to the scratch at the beginning I’ll grade it VG-. When machine cleaning I noticed a slight “dishing” type of warp. However it is hardly noticeable and it doesn’t affect play in any way.
The original dated (04/70) vertigo inner has no splits / rips, there is some creasing.
Please see photos.
I’ve cleaned this on my pro-ject VC-S cleaning machine using non-alcohol based fluid and it is stored in a new antistatic inner.
If you have any questions please ask.
-----------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
