THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE VERTIGO LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A SPECK OF STATIC IN BETWEEN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE PHONOGRAM SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.

THE  COLOUR IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, AND THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR THIS SLEEVE

THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE BOTTOM TWO CORNER TIPS HAVE A SMALL SPECK OF RUB

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE MULTI COLOURED SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND JUST A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED.THERE IS A TINY SLIVER OF WHITE IN THE MIDDLE AND SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

THE PRICELESS INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES, JUST FOXING

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT  

 

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