Description




WELL I JUST DO NOT NEED TO TELL YOU THAT THIS IS ALMOST AS EXTINCT AS THE DINOSAUR. PERHAPS THE RAREST OF ALL VERTIGO SWIRL RECORDS. A LIGHTLY PLAYED COPY. THE SECOND & SUPER RARE 1972 SWIRL LP BY PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND CATAPILLA, AN ALBUM VERY FEW PEOPLE KNEW EVEN EXISTED. IN NORMAL LIGHT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO MARKS OR HAIRLINES. I THEN CHECKED IN THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT & THE A SIDE IS STILL ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AS NEW. UTTERLY SUPERB CRSTAL CLEAR PLAYING SURFACE EVEN IN THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT. THE B SIDE IN THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT HAS JUST ONE VERY SLIGHT HAIRLINE NEAR THE MIDDLE ABOUT 4 CENTIMETRES LONG, A SMALL HAIRLINE WHICH OF COURSE BEING VERY INSIGNIFICANT IS COMPLETELY INAUDIBLE. YOU WILL NOT FIND VINYL OF THIS EXTREMELY RARE RECORD ANY BETTER UNLESS YOU COME ACROSS AN UNPLAYED STOCK COPY BUT MAY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 40 YEARS!!. THE PLAY IS OF COURSE PERFECT. RECORD 6360 074 WITH MACHINE PUNCHED MATRICES 1Y //1 (upside down triangle 420) with stamper codes 1 1   3 and 2Y//1 (upside down triangle 420)   also with stamper codes 1 1   3. A FIRST & ONLY 1972 UK VERTIGO SPIRAL PRESSING IN SUPERB CONDITION. HOWEVER THE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER IS NOT IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION BECAUSE AS MY PHOTOS WILL SHOW THE HEAD OF THE CATAPILLER HAS COME OFF. COLOUR IS VIBRANT & UNWORN BUT THE TOP MID TO RIGHT SECTION IS MISSING AS THE PHOTOS SHOW & THERE IS A SURFACE TEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD, TOP RIGHT CORNER. THE SPINE ON THIS FRAGILE COVER IS VERY THIN & IS WORN. APART FROM THAT THOUGH IT IS OK AND THE INNER INSERT WHERE THE RECORD FITS INTO ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS IN PERFECT ORDER. PERHAPS A SERIOUS COLLECTOR COULD BUY THE AKARMA REPRESS & PROFESSIONALLY AFFIX THE MISSING SECTION TO THIS ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING COVER?. I FOUND THIS WITH A LARGE JAZZ COLLECTION FROM A VERY ELDERLY MAN ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO. I DO NOT THINK IT HAS BEEN PLAYED FOR A VERY LONG TIME SO I HAVE CHECKED IT ON MY LINN SONDECK. VISUALLY IT IS VIRTUALLY PERFECT & IT PLAYS PERFECTLY WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR & DYNAMIC SOUND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM AN UNMARKED BEAUTIFUL UK FIRST PRESSING . THIS DOES OF COURSE COME COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL ANTI STATIC SWIRL INNER BAG. RECOMMENDED FOR THE PROGRESSIVE ROCK CONNOISEUR. I WILL POST WORLDWIDE WITH HEAVY DUTY CARDBOARD MAILERS & STIFFENERS - £3.49 to UK RECORDED FIRST CLASS DELIVERY, £8.99 SIGNED & INSURED FOR TRACKED AIR MAIL TO EUROPE & 9.99 SIGNED & INSURED FOR TRACKED AIR MAIL TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
