Description
Hi There,
I am selling my collection of LP’s over the coming months. This is a very large collection that I have built up over many years. I will be starting slowly but hopefully will gather pace as I get going. There will be many rare and collectable items for sale so keep an eye out for my listings. I will try to be as honest as possible with my grading and descriptions.
Album / Record Title – Heavy Petting
Artist – Dr Strangely Strange
Format- LP Stereo press
Record label – Vertigo “In House White Label Test Pressing”
Catalogue Number – 6360 009
GRADING OF THIS ALBUM (based on Record Collector ‘Rare Record Price Guide 2008’) as shown below.
Album Cover - Fair Condition , The cover suffers from some damage to the right hand side of the outer folding flap , there are 3 tears in across the flap (please see pictures to clarify) This sleeve is well known for being almost impossible to find without damage. Apart from this we have a strong sleeve showing minimal wear, This LP comes with the same vertigo sleeve as the Issue that went on general sale.
The Inner sleeve is plain white with the record’s Title and Cat number written in Biro.
Records / Vinyl - Excellent Condition, Nice piece of vinyl plays very well only minimal background noise during the odd quiet moment. Can only see one small surface mark.
Side 1 is a plain white label with the letter “A” written in biro
Side 2 is also a plain white label and this is spotless no spindle marks.
Just try and find another one of these !!!!!
This is a “rare” opportunity to obtain a very special LP, how often does this Spiral Vertigo LP come up for sale in it’s normal form?
This is one of very few in house Test Pressings produced at the time of Manufacture. This is a “must” for any serious Vertigo collectors out there.Can’t be many of these test pressings left .
Just to make clear this is the same Album Cover as the stock issue, the inner sleeve is a plain white one with the record title written in biro and the cat no stamped on it. The record has plain white labels apart from the biro described above.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration,
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken.
