On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Cressida called 'Asylum' and is a 1971 Stereo UK 1st pressing!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE RARER LPS ON THE VERTIGO LABEL!!!! THIS IS THE VERY 1ST PRESSING OF THIS SUPER RARE LP WITH ITS 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD COVER, SPIRAL LABEL AND SPIRAL INNER BAG!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT IS THE VERY EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'LARGE' SPIRAL LABEL!!!!  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MASSIVELY RARE LP!!!! This is an ORIGINAL Vertigo UK 1st pressing from 1971 and is in brillant condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 6360 025 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Spiral' Vertigo Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Cressida at their best!!!! Any fan of Cressida, or 60s/70s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in brilliant condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, 2 or 3 MEGA light non sounding scufflines, and only some VERY light paper scuffing only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 'Spiral' inner sleeve!!!! The Gatefold Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has only VERY light edge wear in places (VERY light), NO spinal wear,  only a VERY few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the back is in brilliant condition with NO writing, only VERY minimal grubbyness (barely any) in places, and only some VERY slight yellowing!!!! However there are a couple of faults on this cover - though they are quite well hidden and dont detract too much from what is essentially a MEGA rare and VERY hard to find LP!!!!  Firstly there a TINY number '174' written on the back top right of the cover - and next to this is a small sticker which says '76' - so clearly this lp has been in the MUCH larger collection at some point!!!! There is also a patch of wear on the back right hand side (see pictures) near to the spine - that at some point in the past has been 'touched in' (NOT felt pen) and hidden reasonably well and the general look of the cover is still generally VERY nice indeed (See pictures).  This Cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!! THIS LP IS EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  DONT MISS OUT!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!
