ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE  AND LABEL 

HOKUS POKE "Earth Harmony"

Vertigo 6360 064 (see below for country of pressing )

An original 1972 pressing housed in gatefold jacket. Though it gives a UK credit, it has the same label on both sides ie with the spiral at the 12 o'clock position. For several years, we here in Singapore, used to be puzzled over its origins. It is definitely not Singapore as the matrix numbers are machine stamped whereas Singapore ones were scratched in. We used to think it was German in origin with a UK cover. However, towards the later part of 2007 ie November or in December, a UK seller put up a number of such Vertigos and indicated that he found it in their UK warehouse and that they were UK presed but for distribution to Singapore and the Far East. Perhaps in hindsight I should have made a copy of those listings. I am of the view that he is right as the sonics are pretty good. Besides it has the UK die-cut cover which was not a common feature for Singapore record cover printers in those days. Interestingly, it is one of the few such Vertigos available here which has the Vertigo 'bag'(please see my detailed grading below)

Please note that I will be away from Singapore from 14th June till 6rd July and have scheduled this and a few others to appear on 29th June and to close on the 9th July which gives me about 3 days to answer any queries.

 

UK buyers please also note that  I am based in Singapore but the system assumes that as a seller on Ebay,UK should indicate a UK postage cost of 4GBP which may not even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below.

 

Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item condition as 'used'. I did exercise the option of listing it under Ebay, US & Canada(for a fee of course!). Somehow, these listings are appearing under Ebay US & Canada as 'like new' and I can't seem to change it under that site . It should read as 'used'.
