THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPS ON THE VERTIGO LABEL AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! THIS LP ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS ON RELEASE BACK IN 1971 AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS THE RAREST VERSION EVER MADE!!!! THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE NEW ZEALAND 1ST PRESSING - AND IS THE RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY!!!! AND NOT ONLY IS IT RARER THAN THE UK 1ST PRESSING (SELLING IN FAR FEWER AMOUNTS!) - BUT IT IS ACTUALLY BETTER TOO!!!! IT HAS A GATEFOLD LAMINATED FLIPBACK COVER (UK ONES ARENT LAMINATED) - AND BECAUSE OF THIS THICK LAMINATION ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COVER (WHICH UK ONES DONT HAVE!) IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!! AND FOR THOSE WORRIED ABOUT SOUND QUALITY ON A FOREIGN PRESSING? WELL THIS IS ONE PRESSING WHERE YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY AT ALL!!!! BECAUSE THIS ULTRA RARE NEW ZEALAND 1ST PRESSING USED UK MOTHERS & STAMPERS - AND SO, NOT ONLY DOES THIS LP HAVE UK 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIXES (WITH A FULL SET OF UK MATRIXES & STAMPERS!) BUT IT IS PRESSED ON MASSIVELY THICK QUALITY VINYL - WHICH GIVES AWESOME SOUND QUALITY!!!! IT EVEN HAS A UK 1ST PRESS CATALOGUE NUMBER TOO!!!! AND SO, NOT ONLY IS THIS ULTRA RARE NEW ZEALAND 1ST PRESSING FAR RARER THAN A UK 1ST PRESSING (SELLING IN FAR FEWER QUANTITIES!) BUT IT IS FAR BETTER IN MANY RESPECTS THAN A UK 1ST PRESSING ASWELL!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1971 VERTIGO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS LARGE VERTIGO 'SPIRAL' LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 UK MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS VERTIGO INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD LAMINATED FLIPBACK COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Vertigo 1st Pressing from 1971 and is in SUPERB condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 6360 025 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Large Vertigo 'Spiral' Label (see picture) and is a Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME 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 SUPERB 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, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! There is also a TINY area of MEGA faint 'dulling' on 1 side of the record only - though this is on a TINY part of 1 side ONLY, is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to notice - and the rest of the record is jet black!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and NO background sound AT ALL (apart from an absolutely ULTRA faint touch on 1 run on groove ONLY!)!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! SUPERB RECORD!!!! 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 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' inner sleeve!!!! The 1st Press Laminated Flipback Gatefold Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), STUNNING shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, only very VERY slight yellowing, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade FULL Excellent if not better!!!! SUPERB COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
