GENTLE GIANT - OCTOPUS - Orig VERIGO SWIRL - Rare PROG ROCK Gatefold VINYL LP EX

	£		67
	$		89

Very nice copy of one of Gentle Giant’s best albums – original Vertigo ‘swirl’ pressing

*** RE-LISTED – Previous buyer was not happy with my EX grading. I am sticking by this grading, I will say that if you are playing this 40 year old, used album on a high-end turntable with a new high-end needle, it will play with some slight noise, crackles in quiet passages, etc. If you are looking for an ultra clean, noise free copy of this album – then this copy is not it. Previous buyer also noted that the plastic inner sleeve to the original Vertigo inner sleeve was missing – this I failed to mention in my previous description – I am mentioning it now. Any other questions on this album please pm or email me. Many Thanks ***

Original inner sleeve

VINYL:

Little played. Some very light marks. Hair-line scratches under bright light. Will play with some small crackles and noise. There are no scratches which cause jumps or nasty clicks. Vinyl is glossy and dead flat. EX

COVER:

Gatefold. Dead flat. Title spine is great. Very minimal corner wear. No tears, splits or pen marks. Great colour – no fading. Fading to front right cover edge is common to this pressing and due to the printing process. EX
