'GRACIOUS'
Original Vertigo Label -6360 002 UK Import
Vinyl is NM, original Vertigo inner sleeve has yellowed with age and has some creases but no rips or tears. Cover is VG. I would rate it better but there is a small, light brown scuff mark on the back. Otherwise it is very clean.
The Vertigo album (known as the Exclamation Mark album) was one of the first releases on that highly collectible label, and it was one of the famous series with the hypnotic swirl in the centre of the disc - original vinyl copies are worth a small fortune today. It was recorded at Philips studios in Stanhope Place, Marble Arch (subsequently known as Solid Bond Studios, which was owned by Paul Weller) and produced by Hugh Murphy - this was a few years before Murphy produced the multi-million selling 'Baker Street' for Gerry Rafferty. While it cannot be denied that the group are now semi-legendary, their debut LP did not break any sales records first time round, and although they had a faithful following, there were too few fans to chart the album. By then the group were being managed by Peter Abbey, and there is a feeling among the three group members who reminisced for this note that had Abbey worked more closely with Vertigo, things could have been very different.
