Comments:
G+, Fine wax, not terrible, not great, many hairlines and paper scuffs, moderate groove wear, a handful of scratches, some scuffs, tape and sticker burns on the labels - Swirl inner included - Outer sleeve in much better shape than the wax, but still not the best, moderate to serious edge and corner wear, moderate ring wear, fading, grime, micro creases, some on the more serious side, tape in the top left of the back cover - Ultrasonically cleaned
 

Notes:

First issue with the large Vertigo swirl as the A-side label. On the B-side label, 'Vertigo' is located below the spindle hole. On later pressings, Vertigo is above the spindle hole. See [r2182164 and [r6000314.

Matte gatefold jacket with 'Management / Jim Simpson, Big Bear, Birmingham' present in the liner credits. This credit was removed in subsequent jackets, e.g. [r4075761. Jackets were eventually laminated. See [r7332676.

There is no visible runout break between "Hand of Doom" and "Rat Salad". Some represses, like [r2430253, do have a visible break.

Catalogue number 6360 011 appears on B-side label, spine and rear of sleeve.
