The Labels
The original VERTIGO labels are in superb condition! There is virtually no spidering at all.
The Vinyl. The vinyl is absolutely superb and still retains its sheen from new! On initial visual inspection this looks almost like new. There are no audio sounding marks or blemishes at all! This looks almost unplayed! The only visible marks that can be seen are sleeve removal only!
The Audio Quality
I have played this vinyl through all tracks at a good loud volume. The audio quality is superb, clear and vibrant. Clear and extremely vibrant throughout! This vinyl has been carefully stored in a high quality fidelity poly sleeve for all of its storage life. This almost plays as new, with no audible clicks or pops during the play of this record.
There is only some limited static here and there consistentwith a 42 year old vinyl
The Inner Sleeve
This is the original poly lined VERTIGO SLEEVE with(no) splits or tears.
The Cover
This is the original and earliest 1st UK press BOXCOVER printed by 'Howards Printers' (Slough England. with embossed writing. This is in great condition with only minimal surface laminate creases and some light shelf wear.
The Poster
This is the original thick and heavier three fold six segment poster in great condition. It appears never to have been hung, and has only crease lines.
Record Posting
This record will be sent in a robust box with cardboard stiffeners. I never use record mailer envelopes as they are too flimsy.
