COLOSSEUM VALENTYNE SUITE - UK VERTIGO SWIRL TOP AUDIO!






















COLOSSEUM
Valentyne Suite
V01 847 900 VTY
1969 UK VERTIGO 1Y1/2Y1 PRESS
VERY GOOD GATEFOLD SLEEVE
VINYL LOOKS AWESOME - FULLY PLAY GRADED RIGHT THE WAY THROUGH WITH NO JUMPS OR STICKS!



FIRSTLY: I ALWAYS, ALWAYS LISTEN TO AND AUDIO GRADE EVERY ALBUM/SINGLE/EP. Visual gradings are ok, but can be very misleading in my experience! I've had mint-looking vinyl sound like a dog! And, reasonably scratched vinyl sound great! So it's got to be listened to to give an honest and accurate appraisal. And that's what you always get from me.

Also, I list every item with LOADS of pictures detailing everything about this item. I hide nothing in my listings and point out all visible/audible flaws (if any!), as well as the good bits! That way you can rest assured you get exactly what is described. Every vinyl is thoroughly cleaned and listened to from start to finish, right the way through! So there's no unexpected disappointments when you receive your vinyl.


OUTER SLEEVE:
Excellent condition for the year, these 1st issue unlaminated gatefolds are notorious for wear and tear. This is in very good condition overall with just the spine having a significant amount of wear, plus some shelf wear to bottom/top edges. Front/back and inside gatefold are in excellent condition, with no rips or graffiti. EX

LABELS:
Unmarked and unspoilt with only very faint spindle traces - EX++

MATRIX:
STAMPED PRESSING MATRICES:
8 8 6 7 7 5   1 Y * 1    4 2 0    1  2   2
8 8 6 7 7 5   2# Y * 1    4 2 0    1  1   2

VINYL:
Looks superb with no visible marks under normal light other than a few light paper scuffs, under direct halogen there are a few hairline scratches visible. EX+


AUDIO:
Awesome volume and tone throughout. The run ins are surprisingly quiet. The music is loud and clear with hardly any background noise on in between tracks. Very nice indeed, a superb player. The very first Vertigo Swirl pressing and still one of the best in my opinion. Superb 1969 prog rock! EX++

INNER SLEEVE:
Interesting one this! Obviously not an original swirl inner, but a plain poly lined one that's had the swirl design printed or copied onto it! Not bad actually! You can always get a genuine one from a cheap Rod Stewart or Status Quo...!

SUMMARY:
Excellent condition and a stunner as far as playback goes. EX++
