VENDETTA GO AND LIVE… 1st GERMAN Press MiNt AuDO ArChIvE NOISE HEAVY METAL!

The vinyl
The vinyl is absolutely superbe! On initial visual inspection this looks superb Excellent plus to very Near Mint in my opinion! and still retains its sheen from new and is free of any warping and lays flat on the turntable. (please note this vinyl has only ever been played by me personally just a minimal amount of times only! in the last 34 years this has been stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover, this is how I have always stored my records In fact even when I look at the playing surface angled to a strong light thee are just minor sleeve removal surface marks only. Importantly there are no audio sounding marks or blemishes that I can see at all!  Any marks that could possibly be seen would be sleeve removal only!

The Audio Quality
I have played this through track for track prior to listing at very very loud volume on a top system! The moment the needle hits the playing surface it is obvious this vinyl has never been played at all in my opinion! The audio quality is as you would expect from a vinyl that has barely been played, superbe, TOP, TOP, TOP! crystal clear and extremely vibrant through out in fact this plays as a new vinyl would sound in my opinion! Points to note! It is easy to be critical about these nintees pressings. Please note that this vinyl has been laying dormant in a case since I purchased it and will need a constant clean before each play to reduce any static or crackle. This played through as perfect as it gets unbelievable audio separation, that I haven’t heard like this before and stunning bassey feel throughout almost cd. quality on my systems! This vinyl has been stored separately from the cover in a poly sleeve for all of its storage life! This is the way I always have stores my records! The audio on this pressing in my opinion is almost as good as it gets for a very early and the 1st pressing! Even in between tracks this is almost quiet with just light static due to needing a constant cleaning in my opinion ! This is the I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl. Please check my completed listings of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right! I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to near as mint through out!

Please note! That i always make this disclaimer! That although I never heard any loud clicks or pops during the play of this record please allow for the odd static/ tick , certainly not consistent throughout the audio, but this is a genuine 30 year old vinyl that would have been played on a 35 year old system!

Points to note! This has been stored in a case laying dormant for at least 35 years! A build up of dirt and dust in the grooves from laying dormant causes static crackle\ticks! A constant clean before each play is recommended ! This would reduce any static and enhance the audio quality! There was isolated light static tick heard which will be reduced if cleaned each time before play. The vinyl has only been ever played one time by me!

The Record Sleeve
This is the original 1st issue flimsy thin paper lyric record sleeve becoming fragile at the edges and beginning to split there is very light creasing only. There is a small tear at the opening edge to mention. This has always been stored separately from the vinyl for protection!

The Cover
This is the original and earliest 1st German press un- laminated cover! These flimsy type 1st issue covers are very difficult to keep in good condition! There are no splits or tears! Rare to find without ring wear No nasty creases on the front or rear any that there are, are feint at the edges only and  you have to really look for angled to the light to notice in my opinion.Rare to find in this awesome condition super straight in general appearance (see photos) . All text is fully legible at the spine. Truly remarkable for 34 years old! I would grade the cover at least excellent  in my opinion!
