A superb EX/MINT and likely unplayed first pressing of Mike Absalom's self titled LP on Vertigo Records with the highly collectible swirl/spiral label.  The disc is Mint and looks unplayed--not even a single spindle mark.  The Roger Dean designed fold out poster sleeve is in Excellent condition with some chipping to the bottom left corner, spine especially the top 1/2", and a few of the fold open panels have a very minor 1/4" edge tear.  But overall the cover is quite nice, and the disc will be impossible to upgrade. With the original swirl innersleeve, which has some age toning and an invisibly repaired edge split. 

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked.

Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
