looked like the only uk orig copy for sale on ebay when i listed it----not surprising as its a megarare blue chip investment piece in high demand

GENUINE ORIGINAL FIRST UK PRESSING, i would say most people would call the vinyl on this a ''excellent'' ( ex ) grade and i would agree with that,,probably lowest grade you could go for vinyl is vg+ and im only saying that because im a very conservative grader,however most would consider this ex-  VINYL still very glossy- HAS NUMEROUS EXTREMELY LIGHT PAPER SLEEVE TYPE REMOVAL SCUFFS ( very hard to see unless under a bright light not deep and not a issue ) apart from that  it only really has 1 hairline / scuff on 1  side thats only half cm long and almost looks like a paper scuff itself-

ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP MARKS WHATSOEVER  
    I HAVE GRADED THE VINYL DIRECTLY UNDER A VERY BRIGHT BULB,, 
VINYL sits perfectly flat on turntable ( no warp ) clean labels- no stickers -  no  writing

original matrix numbers are stamped into the dead wax and correspond  to a original uk pressing they are as follows

  A SIDE -   6360060  1y // 1 ?   420  11 2                06 
  B SIDE -  6360060    2 y //  ?   420      119                         06

i listened to this whole lp ( both sides ) on headphones at extremely loud volume -the following few paragraphs is what i heard-there were no skips whatsoever-
THERE IS  the slightest  bit of SURFACE NOISE AT START of each side but its gone within a few seconds and hardly audible  AND in the spaces between the songs,

 overall it plays loud clear clean and surface noise is rare-there are NO clicks at all-just the aforementioned slight unimposing rare surface noise- ( which could only just slightly be heard on 2 of the acoustic type tracks and hardly at all even on those-most wouldnt even mention,, as its not an issue) so a really nice play copy that nearly anyone would consider a beautiful keeper for audio-real loud pressing with punch



UNFORTUNATELY THE COVER HAS some issues   STICKER TEAR ON FRONT JUST ABOVE VERTIGO LOGO ( SEE PHOTOS PROVIDED ) THERE IS ALSO A TINY TEAR ON BACK COVER IN MIDDLE OF COVER ( very very small about the size of a match head or 1mm by 1mm- most wouldnt even mention ) ..SOME RUB TO CORNERS TOP AND BOTTOM AND LIGHT/medium STORAGE WEAR. (  .VERY CLEAN  INSIDE gatefold) TOP AND BOTTOM SEAMS TOTALLY INTACT WITH NO SPLITS AT ALL -THERE ARE NO TEARS ON OPENING EDGES theres a few centimeters of colour loss on top seam ( you can see the cardboard colour ) but intact ---a bit of wear colour loss at bottom of spine and top of spine ( see photos provided ) there is a bend / crease at top of left hand side of cover (both sides ) also some indentations / impressions on back  overall a nice cover due to the package being intact -id give it a VG grade- look at the photos and decide for yourself
  includes what appears to be the original vertigo swirl inner sleeve ,,no damage

 ,,IT IS VERY HARD TO EVEN FIND A COPY OF THIS LP, LET ALONE ONE WITH A EXCELLENT vinyl...i paid good money over a grand for this years ago,,imported from another continent 

,, I LIKE MY CUSTOMERS HAPPY,, ANYONE COULD SEE IVE TRIED TO LIST EVERY DEFECT I SEE WITH THIS LP,, DESPITE THESE, I THINK IT is a VERY SOUGHT AFTER RECORD,I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T SELL IT IF I DIDNT HAVE ANOTHER PERSONAL COPY 


THIS RECORD IS EXTREMELY RARE AND GOES FOR HIGH AMOUNTS (REGULARLY $1500  to  $2000 ) so its going to be mailed in a larger than normal professional record mailer and will be packed with lots of packing materials and vinyl out of sleeve to stop seam splits in transit,,be confident look at my selling feedback
