Description

 I’M SELLING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION OF WELL OVER 1000 LPs – I HAVEN’T PLAYED MOST OF THEM FOR MANY YEARS AND THAT’S A CLEAR INDICATION THAT PRIORITIES HAVE CHANGED ..THERE ARE MANY COLLECTIBLE GEMS HERE ON MAJOR LABELS (ATLANTIC,BLUE HORIZON,COLUMBIA,DAWN,DECCA,DERAM,VERTIGO,MARMALADE,

HARVEST,REFLECTION,PINK ISLAND  ETC.) – YOU NAME IT IT’S ALL HERE….ONCE THEY ARE GONE THEY ARE GONE,THAT’S IT ..99% OF MY COLLECTION IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION,BOUGHT MANY OF THEM NEW OR VERY NEAR NEW, MANY OF THEM ARE ALSO UNPLAYED MINT –  GOOD LUCK TO ALL..

 

Colosseum: Valentyne suite VERTIGO VO1  UK



Original first pressing on the  LARGE SWIRL label with 1Y1and 2Y matrix endings and the „Philips record product” text on the bottom (ONLY the FIRST pressings had this text !!)…


PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY – IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU SEE ONE OF THESE AGAIN IN THIS CONDITION


Comes from the original owner who bought it NEW,played it 2-3 times  to put it on tape/CD and stored it away….I’m quite confident to say that this might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy such a pristine and beautiful copy…If it doesn’t sell for the listing price now it will be put in my ebay store and I know  someone will eventually buy it.

 

The inside cover has been signed by two of the members who played on this album,John Hiseman and Dave Greenslade -100% original and authentic !!

Comes with the original SWIRL poly-lined inner sleeve – has small writing on one corner but otherwise MINT,as NEW.

 
 
cover:   superb clean MINT- with FEW TINY creases long the spine,otherwise as NEW which is almost unheard in the case of this cover  being  un-laminated….. very nice and absolutely square corners, square/uncrushed spine with all the text clearly visible…opening edges are nice,straight and sharp...inside is as NEW....no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

record,visual: superb clean MINT- with  few VERY light light non-audible hairlines ,otherwise looks VERY NEAR NEW..

record,audio:   IT WAS PLAYED 2-3 ( IF THAT..) TIMES IN ITS LIFETIME AND I’M NOT GOING TO RISK DAMAGING IT BY TESTPALYING – IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS PLEASE DON’T BID.

labels:   clean  without any  spindle hole marks…886 775 1Y and 886 775 2Y machine stamped matrix numbers,earliest pressing ever...no tears,stamps or any other damages...

EX (EXCELLENT)

VG ( VERY GOOD)

 

I ALSO USE  PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) IF THE CONDITION FALLS BETWEEN TWO GRADES.

VINYL WILL FIRST BE INSPECTED VISUALLY VERY CAREFULLY UNDER STRONG LIGHT..I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE RECORD  FROM START TO END ( WHO DOES ? ) - HOWEVER,I  TESTPLAY SKIPPING THROUGH  TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES ( INCLUDING RUN-IN,RUN-OUT GROOVES AND THE SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS ) TO CHECK THE OVERALL PLAYBACK  QUALITY.

ALL TESTPLAYING IS DONE ON TOP QUALITY EQUIPMENT- LINN SONDEK WITH ITTOK TONEARM AND BENZ MICRO GLIDER S MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE,McINTOSH TUBE AMPMS AND AMT ESS HEIL SPEAKERS.

IN THE UNLIKELY CASE THAT YOU SHOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING/DESCRIPTION PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK-I’M SURE THAT WE CAN CLEAR OUT EVERY PROBLEM IN A KIND WAY!

 

PLEASE NOTE:ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T  HEAR ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS DURING THE TESTPLAY ON MY SYSTEM AND HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL,I CAN’T GUARANTEE IT WILL PLAY THE SAME WAY ON YOUR SYSTEM -YOU MIGHT HEAR THE ODD STATICK TICK/POP THAT I DIDN’T !!!
