Original 1st press 1Y 2Y matrix numbers with original Vertigo swirl label. Complete with original matt gatefold sleeve. This copy does not have the original swirl inner sleeve but I am sure this could be easily resolved.
Condition
Please note that all records are visually graded unless otherwise stated.
Records are graded using the Rare Record Price Guide grading system.
Record EX+ A wonderful example of this highly sought after record, I have struggled to fault the visual part of the grading. It is bright and glossy and retains a wonderful sheen. There appears to be an occasional very light inner sleeve mark but these are only noticed in very bright light. On inspection it appears beautiful. There are a couple of spindle marks but very light both sides. A fantastic example throughout.
I have listened to extracts of the audio and it sounds crisp and sharp, there is some very light underlying background noise that I am sure will be minimised with a clean making it sound even better than it already does. This light background noise is only really noticed in quieter sections run ins and outs and are barely noticeable if at all in busier and louder sections of the record. A wonderful example throughout
Sleeve EX-/EX A nice clean sleeve with some minimal marks and very light wear. There is some light storage edge marks effecting mainly the corners. There are no splits or tears. Some light surface marks and minimal wear. There is a small patch of restoration in the top right corner, this has been skillfully done and is rather neat. There is some light fading to the spine area. A nice sharp example. Internally the gatefold is quite clean with some light foxing and occasional toning. There is a small strip of marks that are quite faint running in a line, this is quite minimal. This is not too over baring and not heavy. For the most part the inside is clean and bright and quite well preserved. (Please view the photographs for a visual of the condition) A nice clean, solid example tat presents in fantastic collectable condition.
NB. I always feel that records will benefit and the sound enhanced by a professional clean.
PLEASE VIEW MY OTHER RECORDS. I WILL DISCOUNT POSTAGE ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES. A POLITE NOTICE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO AMMEND THE CUSTOMS DECLARATION.
