This one has amazing audio on this 1971 recording great nice flat 70s pre oil crisis heavy thick vinyl with no warping or other worrying faults... *this just sounds so much better*...
This first *ICONIC 1971 UK Vertigo* estimated sold only around 50,000 in 71 how many are left...
not available in this format in USA and Canada! where it went gold and later platinum founding the bones of *stoner rock* Nirvanna famously cite this album as *the one* a real time piece and collectors find. growing in value and a great listen! recorded at island studios London in early 71.
Produced by Roger Bain.

The Record
Excellent condition
Excellent condition on this 1970 1st Pressing 636050-1Y and 636050-2Y,
a real timepiece looks great! a few spindle lines and stored upright in PVC jacket for many years.
some light scuffs or lines to report there are removal scuffs under strong light, still a real finders dream!
plays incredible with some light background noise could benefit from a professional clean, we don't do this its a personal thing. some light "surface noise" in the quieter passages intros to *Solitude* and Sweet Leaf but the overall volume of the music is easily enjoyable on the soon to be 55 year old, super shiny clean fat pre oil crisis 70s vinyl (see pics) great swirl labels...no writing or marks.
Not overplayed labels show moderate wear.
no writing stickers or tape to report.
Real nice "Vertigo Swirl" inner is a quality repro , pretty faithful to the original.
The Cover
Near Ex Condition
Great original 1971 cover with UK "high gloss laminate finish" a verry good condition with almost zero ringwear to rear, no writing stickers or tape to report.
the top opening cover normally suffers this one is in good order with no serious damage, some laminate creasing pretty normal on these sleeves.
folding edge is intact no tears see top edge pic. nothing serious no *worrying faults!*
some slight rounding at corners , no splits or tears to worry about.
the reproduction poster is really nice quality clear clean and not a lot of handling evident, truly a collectors find. no holes, tape or writing and no worrying faults a great sleeve that would be *Excellent* only the laminate cracking and lines keeping it *Near Ex*
any questions look at pics and ask.....
pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"
Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some light background static only is noticeable in the quieter passages but nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.
any questions please ask!
