(Vertigo VERS 5 UK LP 1983)
This is an original UK LP pressing. It has a shiny matt sleeve which has no barcode on the rear. It comes with its original Picture Inner Sleeve. This is printed on paper. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has 1st press A-1/ B-1 matrix stampers.
A genuine UK 1st pressing of this highly regarded early 1980's Heavy Metal/ Hard Rock LP. I have some other rare & collectable 1980's Heavy Metal/ Thrash etc... LP's for sale. Please see my other listings.
Sleeve: There is more moderate rubbing wear to the bottom two corner tips. There is mild rubbing wear to the other two corner tips. There is light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This is not too noticeable. There is a 2 cm area of moderate rubbing wear toward the top of the spine (see photo). There is light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the spine on some other areas too. The spine text is mainly legible. There is a mild crease in one corner tip area. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear on some areas. Overall, a strong Very Good condition.
Vinyl: There are some light, mild or very mild sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There are a few areas of more moderate sleeve rubs too. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These can hardly be seen under a strong light. Very Good+ condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear only.
The Picture Inner Sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in many places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. Overall, an Excellent audio copy.
I shall place the record into a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from any damage during the shipping process.
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LP's).
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
