- SPACESHIP LABEL / UK 1ST PRESS
THE RECORD LABELS
THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND DEEP, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON EITHER SIDE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND I CAN ONLY MAKE OUT A COUPLE OF SMALL SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE TO SUGGEST THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD FEWER THAN THREE PLAYS LIFETIME
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS GREAT. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, AND EVEN THE BARELY VISIBLE WISPS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN
PLAYING THE RECORD
I HAVE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS ME TO RECORD FOR YOU SOME SOUNDBITES. I AM CERTAIN THAT ALL THE WORDS I CHOSE TO TYPE ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO ACTUALLY HEARING WHAT YOU MAY BE CONSIDERING TO BID ON. I HOPE YOU AGREE
I HAVE INCLUDED FOUR, THREE MINUTE SECTIONS FROM THE LP INCLUDING THE OPENING TRACK TO EACH SIDE, AS THIS INCLUDES THE RUN IN WAX, ALLOWING YOU TO IDENTIFY ANY UNWANTED NOISE THAT MIGHT BE PRESENT. I AM CERTAIN THERE IS NONE.I HAVE ALSO RECORDED SECTIONS OF THE LINKING GROOVE THAT PRECEED EACH TRACK, SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO GUAGE THE SILENCE BETWEEN THE TRACKS
ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN AND THAT IS THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY OF THE TRACKS WHICH WOULD BE PRESENT IF THE RECORD HAD BEEN ABUSED WITH A WORN OR TOO HEAVY STYLUS
EACH TRACK PLAYS THROUGH WITH UTMOST CLARITY. THE PERFORMANCE ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES IS JUST OUTSTANDING. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE TO TALK ABOUT APART FROM THE VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC HERE AND THERE, AND ON SIDE 2 A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE POPS AT ONE POINT, ALTHOUGH THIS COULD BE DUST AS I AM UNABLE TO DETECT ANY MARK ON THE VINYL.
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
THE OVERALL GRADING OF THE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT PLUS
THIS IS A DELICATE NON LAMINETED EMBOSSED SLEEVE, AND VULNERABLE THEREFORE TO ALL SORTS OF ABUSE INCLUDING COLOUR LOSS, STAINING, MARKS, TEARS, STICKER MARKS ETC.
THIS IS A LOVEL EXAMPLE AND HAS CLEARLY BEEN CARED FOR. THE FRONT EMBOSSED SURFACE SHOWS NO LOSS OF COLOUR TO THE RAISED GOLD PART OF THE SLEEVE, WHILST THE WHITE SURFACE HAS NO CREASES, OR CREASE LINES, NOR ANY STAINS OR MARKS, JUST SOME LIGHT AGING TO THE PERIMITER EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE
BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNWORN .
THE SPINE SHOWS LIGHT SHELF WEAR, BUT NO SPLITS, AND THE TYPEFACE IS CLEAR.
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS CREASE FREE, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED, JUST AGAIN THE LIGHT AGING TO THE EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT S OBVIOUS THAT THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCELLENT UNSPLIT CONDITION, AGAIN WITH JUST LIGHT BROWNING TO THE EDGES
A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE
THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT A VERY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE ALBUM, AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO FOR IT
