NOTES
Vertigo swirl label - with the wording Vertigo credited on label side B.
Cat - 6360 011 appears on B-side label, spine and rear of sleeve above VO PRICE CODE.
Note:
There is no break in between the tracks Hand of Doom and Rat Salad - i.e. looks as though there are only three tracks on the B side of the record when there are actually four.
Produced by Roger Bain for Tony Hall Enterprises written in 1 line on label. There are other versions where it s written in 2 lines.
Runouts are stamped.
CONDITION
RECORD IS NEAR MINT, LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY HARDLY PLAYED IN THE LAST 53 YEARS, LOVELY TRY AND FIND A BETTER COPY ? 100 A FINAL UPGRADE STUNNING CONDITION .
I CANNOT SEE ANY, NOT EVEN VERY FEINT SLEEVE REMOVAL / HAIRLINES EVIDENT ACROSS EITHER SIDE , EVEN WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. SUPERB SEE PICS
THE CENTRE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SEE PICS WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY VERY FEINT TINY SPINDLE MARKS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE . THERE IS A LINE MARK ON THE STICKER ON SIDE A , PLEASE SEE PHOTOS .
THE OUTER SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT , SOME MINIMAL LAMINATE CREASES SEE ALL PICTURES . TOP RIGHT CORNER SCUFF .
THE SWIRL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD , WITH SOME PAPER DISCOLOURATION FROM AGE .
A REALLY STUNNING EXAMPLE SEE ALL PICS
SO, IN CONCLUSION, NOT ONLY A VERY RARE SUPERB CONDITION UK FIRST PRESS, BUT NOT MANY OF THESE COME UP FOR SALE IN THIS CONDITION, SO PLEASE DONT MISS OUT
PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES CLOSELY AND USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO SELF ASSESS
