Description
BEN “Ben" (Vertigo 6360 052) original UK 1971 FIRST pressing
Probably not too much introduction needed here – one of the rarest UK albums on one of the most collectable labels... VERTIGO UK ORIGINAL in unlaminated sleeve. Superb jazzy prog throughout...
First (and presumably only) pressing. Matrix stampers: SIDE A: 6360052 1Y// 420 and SIDE B: 6360052 2Y// 420
I’ve tried to be as honest as possible – a fairly tatty copy of a £500+ album which could fill the gap in your collection.
Record Condition : GOOD - (Record labels are in excellent shape. The record, however, has plenty of surface scuffs and numerous scratches (some quite long) you can feel which interfere with play. The record plays with background crackle, and has lots of pops and clicks – sometimes in louder passages this blends into the background, in some quieter passages it doesn’t. There are NO jumps and NO sticks... and the second half of the second side is pretty much pop free and plays with only light crackle)
Sleeve Condition : POOR (Half of the gatefold cover missing)
The LP does have a small signature on the back of the cover, from when the previous owner catalogued the items. The signature is not the artist's signature.
ALL GRADING IS VERY STRICT & ADHERES TO 'RECORD COLLECTOR' SPECIFICATIONS.
Grading System
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
