Dire Straits Debut 1st UK Vertigo Spaceship Mint Audio/ Vinyl
Dire Straits debut album 1978 cat no:9102 021
1st UK pressing on Vertigo labels.
The cover
This is the 1st issue cover (no barcode) the original are thicker and heavier cover than late pressings. There is light storage wear to note, rubbing at the top edge right hand corner only noticed if looked for. Generally clean and straight all text is readable. Light browning/fading to note, again you have to look to notice. Any creases/bumping are minor and you have to look to notice them in my opinion. Graded at excellent in my opinion.
The Record Sleeve
This is the original thicker picture/lyric sleeve generally clean and straight with no edge splits or tears, light browning/foxing noted with age only noticed id looked for.
The vinyl is always stored outside of the cover and sleeve. This is how I always store my records.
The vinyl
This is exceptional/very clean. Initially looks unplayed in my opinion. Visually I don’t see any marks or scratches that would effect the play. Visually Near Mint.
The labels
These are the 1st issue Vertigo Spaceship labels look lovely with hardly any visible signs of being played. Barely a spider trace can be seen around the spindle hole. This has only been played no more than two or three time ever in my opinion.
The Audio
I have played and fully recorded the record for you to hear. Please contact me for details. The audio is exceptional clear and vibrant throughout. It will be very difficult to find a better sounding vinyl in my opinion. Audio graded at Near Mint.
