Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years. My main interest has been PROGRESSIVE especially the VERTIGO SWIRL/SPIRAL LABEL, reputed to be the most collectable label in the world?

I have a very large collection of vinyl and I am selling some more so that I can buy some more!? I will always offer either very nice copies of great music or maybe an album in poorer condition if it is particularly rare. I will be selling vinyl on many different labels including:- CHARISMA/B&C, HARVEST, PEGASUS, RCA NEON, ISLAND, DAWN, ETC ETC...

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

SO HERE WE GO.......

For sale here is --BEN--BEN-- 1972 UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST ITALIAN PRESSING WITH VERY FIRST  SLEEVE .

THIS ALBUM WAS ONLY RELEASED IN THE UK AND ITALY AND IN VERY VERY SMALL NUMBERS AND IS EXTREMELY RARE. IN FACT THE ITALIAN PRESSING IS MUCH RARER THAN THE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND UK PRESSING.

SLEEVE....NON-GATEFOLD and FRONT-LAMINATED. This is the very first(and only) print of this sleeve. In EX condition showing only minor wear. It is very clean and crisp. The colours are very strong and vibrant LIKE NEW. The edges are in EX condition with almost NO wear and NO splits. The front is N/MINT, NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO FADING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS, NO SURFACE RUB AND NO STAINING. The rear  is in similar EX condition with evidence of 2 small stickers that have been removed from the bottom right corner. The opening edges  are in lovely condition with just 1 tiny nic. The spine is MINT. There is wear to the very tips of the corners. All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 37 year old sleeve. EX.

LABELS..... No unwanted writing or stains or stickers, NO spindle hole wear and NO spindle marks, both sides are N/ MINT.

VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see light surface hair lines which are caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve, there are no nasty marks or nasty scratches. In normal daylight this album is PRISTINE. Both sides play WITHOUT SCRATCHES, CLICKS OR JUMPS. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo separation. The audio reproduction of this pressing is perfect in all frequencies, it is so clear and crisp..TOP.. There are a few light dust crackles, which can be heard only in the very quiet parts of the music.This is a superb album in the most wonderful of conditions. These original pressings are second to none. This really is a top copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER . EX+/EX. very nice!!

 THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. IT IS SUPER RARE IN THIS 'SUPERB' CONDITION.

DONT MISS THIS ONE.

THERE CANT BE MANY OTHERS LEFT IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION.

I prefer payment by paypal, UK bidders may use a personal cheque.

GOOD LUCK bidding! Brian.

I only use top quality packaging each album is cleaned on a VPI machine, packaged out side of the sleeve/s to prevent seem splits during transport, stiffened with 2 stiffeners, wrapped in bubble wrap, and the posted out in a brand new highest quality 'cruciform' mailer.
