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?
I have finally finished my SWIRL collection of over 160 albums of which most are UK pressings, and now I am going to SELL them ( I must be mad ). 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.
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 "AWSOME" 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 CLEAR BLUE SKY--CLEAR BLUE SKY- UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING ,1970, stereo 6360 013. The 19th of 87 UK pressings on this label.
SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD and UN-LAMINATED. This is an out standing copy of this sleeve , it has that JUST OF THE PRESS look. The colours are very strong and vibrant IT IS AS WHITE AS CAN BE, LIKE NEW. The edges are N/MINT as is the spine just the tiniest amount of wear to the bottom edge but NOT through the surface and the very tips of the corners. The front is N/MINT with NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE, NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS, NO GLUE RESIDUE The rear is in the same wonderful condition The spine is FULLY legible and LOOKS NEW. The inside gatefold is in fantastic condition and looks MINT. This album comes with I'ts ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING SWIRL INNER SLEEVE in fantastic condition N/MINT. All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 36 year old sleeve.WHEN HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ALBUM WITH SUCH A FANTASTICALLY UN BLEMISHED WHIT SLEEVE??? OUTSTANDING. N/MINT
LABELS......Both labels are in wonderful condition, beautifully white with only one or two spindle marks on either side! This album can only have been played on a handful of occasions and with the utmost care. N/MINT.
VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. There are only VERY FEW, VERY LIGHT surface marks that can only been seen when the vinyl is held at a certain angle under the brightest of lights. 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 seperation. There are dust crackles on the run in groves, but this stops as the music starts and can hardly be heard between tracks! These HEAVY VINYL origional 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 . ( the very few dust crackles could probably be removed by a professional clean ) N/MINT / N/MINT
THIS IS A CRACKER OF AN ALBUM IN THE BEST OF CONDITIONS, IT IS MUSICALLY SUPERB AND ACCOMPLISHED CONSIDERING THE MUSITIANS WERE ALL TEENAGERS.
THERE CANT BE MANY LEFT IN THIS CONDITION. "STUNNING"DONT MISS THIS ONE!
