BEN Ben UK Original VERTIGO SWIRL Ultra RARE PROG JAZZ LP
Label:- VERTIGO
Catalogue: - 6360 052
On offer here is the ultra rare Ben on the original Vertigo 'swirl' label. Reputedly only sold some 70 copies or so back in 1971 but who knows if that's true or not. This one is not up to the usual condition I sell but is still well worth it as playable rarity. In the top five of Vertigo's most rare list.
Vinyl: - VG (vinyl still retains deep shine as you can see from the photo. Some small surface marks are visible on both sides. TEST PLAY. Please read carefully. There is soft background surface throughout the entire album. This is not noticable when the music is full on but can certainly be heard during the sparce parts. There are also intermittent pops and clicks throughout but no jumps or repeats. I have cleaned the vinyl before this auction on my Okki Nokki machine using L'Art Du Son cleaning fluid which greatly enhances the sound quality.)
Sleeve: - VG (This is a non-laminated white sleeve so the condition is pretty much as you expect for a sleeve of this age. Small marks and scuffs on both front, back and inside. Very faint handwritten price on the back. Edgewear and wear on the spine although this is still readable. Most of this can clearly be seen in the photos. Swirl inner sleeve is excellent.)
Labels: - EX
If you are looking for near mint then dont bid but if you want a playable super rare Vertigo this is for you.
GRADING ABBREV DESCRIPTION MINT M The record is as new. The cover and any inserts should be in perfect condition.Many Dealers do not use this classification as A record is unlikely to arrive through the post in truly mint condition. EXCELLENT
PLUS EX+ The record is near-mint, there is no damage or visible surface marking. Under Bright Light you may see fine lines on the record, caused by rubbing on the paper sleeve. Reserve this grade for records where you have difficulty spotting anything wrong.
The Cover and inserts are undamaged. EXCELLENT EX The record may show some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks or fingerprints but there is no appreciable lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. EXCELLENT
MINUS EX- There may be fairly visible surface markings under bright light but the sound quality of the record is not adversely affected.
The Cover and inserts may have noticeable light creasing or "foxing" due to dampness but they are all present and intact. VERY GOOD VG The record has obviously been played a lot, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite surface marks and some light scratches. Also Use this grading where the record has suffered perhaps one more visible scratch, but is otherwise in EX or better condition.
The cover may be creased a little and/or frayed at the opening. You should itemize any more serious damage such as tears.
I also use +/- if I feel a record comes between a grade
