Description
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?
After Selling 2 complete sets of VERTIGO UK SWIRL albums, I am now selling my collection of NON UK pressings. I have been quite fussy about the QUALITY, CONDITION and they must be the VERY FIRST PRESSINGS. The latter has been the hardest to decipher and has had me buying and selling many copies of the same album to achieve this, and I almost have with these collectable gems.
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.
I am happy to post this album ANY WHERE, but I only post them fully insured to international destinations. I will only be able to calculate the cost of postage after the auction has finished as i will need to know the final selling price to give an accurate postage and packaging price. I will only post albums out in top quality Packaging to protect the albums.SO HERE WE GO.......
For sale here is --FREEDOM--FREEDOM IS MORE THAN A WORD--CANADIAN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING. 1972, stereo 6360 072
SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD, GIMIXED and UN-LAMINATED. THIS IS A UK PRINTED SLEEVE, WHICH IS CORRECT FOR THE ORIGINAL CANADIAN PRESSING. This un-laminated sleeve is in superb EX condition, the surface is in great un-marked condition. It is showing VERY LIGHT WEAR. It is very flat and square. The colours are very strong and vibrant. The top edges are EX+, the bottom edges are also EX. The front is EX with NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS , NO STAINING just light surface rub. The rear is in the same wonderful condition with LIGHT RING WEAR. The inner gatefold is also in EX condition. The opening edges are in lovely EX+ condition with no tears and no feathering. There is LIGHT spine wear and all information is 100% readable . There is a tiny amount of wear to the very tips of the corners and a couple of light creases down the spine. All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 38year old sleeve. EX(+)....VERY NICE.
LABELS.....There is NO unwanted writing, staining, stickers, residue or tears. There is NO spindle wear.EX, EX.
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 VERY FEW, VERY LIGHT surface hair lines which were caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve, there are no nasty marks or scratches. In normal daylight this album is N/MINT. 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 seperation. There are FEW dust crackles that can be heard only in the quiet parts of the music or between tracks, but a professional clean should sort out most of that. These HEAVY VINYL origional pressings are second to none. This really is a great copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER . EX, EX+. WONDERFUL!
THIS ALBUM IS QUITE RARE NOW
DONT MISS THIS ONE.
THERE CANT BE MANY OTHERS LEFT IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION.
