THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP VERTIGO ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE 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 INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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 SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE STUFF IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 1-2 DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT!!!

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

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

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

THERE ARE FIVE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE  ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A VERY VERY MILD RECORD SHAPE TRACE AT THE TOP

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES JUST HAVE A SPECK OF WEAR ALONG THEM. NOTHING HEAVY JUST A FEW WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IS LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME DIMPLES TO THE SURFACE. THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE AT SOME POINT HAS HAD TWO SMALL CHIPS TO IT, BUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HASBLACKED THEM IN WHERE THE CARD MUST HAVE SHOWN THROUGH. THEY ARE ONLY SMALL AND I NEARLY MISSED THEM BUT AS I RAN MY FINGER DOWN THE LENGTH I FELT TWO SMALL ROUGH SPOTS. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT . JUSTA COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND A MINUSCULE THUMB LINE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS USUALLY FOUND SPLIT, BUT THIS COPY IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. NO SPLITS , CREASES OR WRINKLES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THE SURFACE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS!!!

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