	£		188
	$		249

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 a very large collection of vinyl and I am selling some more so that I can buy some more!? I will always offer either very nice copies of great music or maybe an album in poorer condition if it is particularly rare. I will be selling vinyl on many different labels including:- CHARISMA/B&C, HARVEST, PEGASUS, RCA NEON, ISLAND, DAWN, ETC ETC...

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 "AWESOME" 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 --MANFRED MANN CHAPTER THREE-- 1969 UK ORIGINAL PRESSING WITH ORIGINAL SLEEVE.

SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD and UN-LAMINATED. This one always turns up in poor condition. So this one is a really nice find.  In EXCELLENT condition showing only minor wear. It is very flat and square.  The colours are very strong and vibrant LIKE NEW. The bottom edge is in N/MINT condition with almost NO wear and no splits. The top edge is also N/MINT condition with ALMOST NO WEAR. The front is N/MINT and only suffers with 1 very light surface mark just under the 'F' in Manfred, hardly noticable really, but there is no other damage,  NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS  AND NO STAINING. The rear  is in  EX- condition and would have been MINT except for some very minor surface rub near the top and the previous owners initials written in black. The inner gatefold is in SUPERB MINT condition.The opening edges  are in lovely N/MINT condition with no tears. The spine is very square and all the information is clear and fully readable.  There is wear to the tips of the corners. ( please see the close-up pictures).  All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 40 year old sleeve. EX. Apart from the letters written on the back of the sleeve this is the very best copy of this sleeve I have ever seen.

It comes with a very tidy swirl inner bag EX+.

LABELS.....As new in every respect. MINT/MINT

VINYL....  Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see very very few very light surface hair lines which are caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve, there are no nasty marks or scratches. 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 separation. The audio reproduction of this pressing is perfect in all frequencies, it is so clear and crisp..top.. There are ALMOST NO dust crackles..This is a superb album in the most wonderful of conditions. These HEAVY VINYL original 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 .  SO VERY CLOSE TO  MINT probably only played once or twice.

 THIS ALBUM IS GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. IT IS RARE IN THIS 'SUPERB' CONDITION.

DONT MISS THIS ONE.

THERE CANT BE MANY OTHERS LEFT IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I prefer payment by paypal, UK bidders may use a personal cheque.

GOOD LUCK bidding! Brian.

I only use top quality packaging each album is cleaned on a VPI machine, packaged out side of the sleeve/s to prevent seem splits during transport, stiffened with 2 stiffeners, wrapped in bubble wrap, and the posted out in a brand new highest quality 'cruciform' mailer.
