THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE FAMOUS VERTIGO SPIRAL LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.

NOT ONE MARK ON THEM, AND THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, ON THE SWIRLS SIDE

AND THE WHITE SIDE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND UNMARKED . NO YELLOWING AND NO STAINS

ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND ARE ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

JUST 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED AL OF IT S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE

THIS IS TRULY AN OPTSTANDING EXAMPLE


THE TEST PLAY

A SUPERB UPGRADE COPY OF THIS ALBUM

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB

LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL

AN ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL ANYWHERE

AND INCREDIBLY THIS RECORD HAS ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.

I WAS PAYING PARTICULAR ATENTION TO CHANGES, FX, AND LAGUNA SUNRISE, THE THREE QUIET TRACKS AND THESE LIKE THE REST OF THE ALBUM PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY

AN INCREDIBLE VINYL THAT PERFORMS TO A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE GRADE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS

SO TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED BUT VERY LIGHTLY TEXTURED HOWARDS SLOUGH GATEFOLDSLEEVE

VERY HARD TO FIND IN TOP CONDITION DUE TO THE BLACK SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY BADLY WORN ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK, AND SHOWS UP EVERY CREASE LINE

THIS ONE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. ALMOST 100 PERFECT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND ALL OF THE DELICATE AND EASILY WORN BLACK SURFACE IS PRISTINE.

THE ONLY LIGHT WEAR COMES IN THE FORM OF SOME A TINY WHITE SPECK OF UNDERCARD AT THE VERU BOTTOM ON THE ORANGE AND A TINY ONE A LITTLE FURTHER UP IN THE BLACK

,OTHER THAN THAT IT IS VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE WHITE LETTERING IS STILL VERY WHITE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, NEAR PERFECT BLACK SURFACES AND ONLY THE CORNER TIPS SHOW A LITTLE RUB

THE SPINE IS IN SUPER CONDITION. AGAIN USUALLY THIS IS FOUND VERY BADLY WORN AWAY, BUT HERE IT IS STILL TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR UNRUBBED APART FROM A TINY WHITE FLECK ON THE TOP EDGE AND A DOT OF RUB AT THE RIGHT TIP ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE JUST THE RIGHT OF THE WORRD BLACK

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS, AND A TOP CONDITION CONDITION 4 PAGE BOOKLET

THE ORIGINAL VERTIGO SPIRAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS, AND UNCREASED, WITH JUST A TINY SHADOW OF NATURAL AGEING

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
