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
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 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 JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE 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 RIGHT 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 WITH UNBLEMISHED ENDS
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . ONE MICROSCOPIC MARK BY THE SPINE
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 AT THE EDGES
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
