This is an original UK FIRST PRESSING of BLUE by the John Dummer band Featuring Nick Pickett. It is on the superb Swirls/Spiral Vertigo record label . Vertigo records is without doubt the most collectible record label in the world. This LP is one of the more difficult to find Vertigo LP`s and to to find one with a decent sleeve is near impossible . As you can see this album has a very delicate die cut sleeve and most of the ones you come across will be damaged due to its delicate nature. This sleeve is a corker ! None of those delicate pieces on the front are damaged .It does have the very slightest edge ware but no ring ware at all. All of the spinal writings are there and a crystal clear. The sleeve is EXCELLENT. Double click the pictures and you will see the normally white label has a pink tinge to it . I think as soon as this LP was pressed the record must have been left resting on the sleeve for some time because the red from the sleeve has transferred onto the label on side 2.Both sides of this LP have hairlines and there are some background noise in the quiet parts and during the dead wax intervals but nothing that intrudes onto this fine Jazz music.The best I would be willing to grade the LP is Very Good that is simply a cosmetic grading due to the transfer . It plays Excellent minus.And there is plenty of luster still left on both sides of this LP. The original inner sleeve is here all my Vertigo`s have original sleeves I myself am not a fan of the new ones you can buy. The cellophane is still inside and undamaged but not attached. Someone with nimble fingers would have no trouble fixing it. Apart from that the inner is Excellent.So a great playing sample of this really rare Vertigo LP with an EXCELLENT sleeve. So a great and a really rare opportunity for all the Vertigo collectors to enhance your already valuable collection and grab an upgrade of this seriously rare seldom seen Vertigo collectible !!
A PENNY START AND NO RESERVE !!!!!!

All my records are housed in Mobile Fidelity Mastering Sleeves. This prevents further paper scuffs marking the vinyl when removing the record from the original inner sleeve and prolongs the condition of the original inner sleeve . Bidders not in the UK items over £250 will require insurance this can change the postage costs dramatically. Items £500 + this can be expensive. For an item valued at £500 it is £59.65 tracked first class with insurance to the USA . For an item valued at £1000 it is £105 tracked global priority to Hong Kong. Please be aware of this while making your bids.
In answer to the question I was asked regarding the marks on side
2 of the label. NO this item has never been wet.The mark is not an ink smudge.This can be confirmed if you look closely at the typeset .They each have an even ink consistency. All the letters still have perfect formation. Their individual shape has not been distorted in any way whatsoever .This would not be the case if this LP had been wet or if the ink had ever been smudged. The flaw on this label is simply a manufacturers printing error.
