Description
This is an ultra-rare LP.
It's on the UK Vertigo swirl label and is entitled 'Cressida' by Cressida.The year of release was 1970. The music is absolutely superb with prog, psych and jazz influences throughout as well as some excellent orchestral fills.
It's a stereo recording and the catalogue number is VO7 (847 904 VTY). It is a very rare record and this one is in fine condition although the sleeve shows some definite wear.
OUTER SLEEVE - The sleeve is a gatefold type and It shows definite wear. The edges and the spine are well worn and the wording along the spine is partially obscured. In view of this I've graded the sleeve as VG-.
INNER BAG - This is the usual Vertigo expanded swirl type with a polythene liner. It states at the bottom left hand corner of one side -'PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE... ETC - British Patent No. 800513 & 973939 - MADE IN ENGLAND - B 1/0470'. It is slightly creased and I've graded it Ex-.
RECORD - The record is in great condition. It looks really good, giving a shiny appearance It's been well played but there is virtually no surface noise and just one or two very minor pops and clicks. It plays beautifully on both sides..There are absolutely no jumps on any of the tracks on either side.
LABELS - The labels are the standard Vertigo swirl type - side one - large swirl logo - side two - small swirl logo with track details and credits. Beneath the catalogue number on the left side of the label is a smaller number (847 904 VTY). The labels are in fine condition with very few spindle marks visible. The matrix numbers on the run-off grooves are - side one - 847904 1Y//1V420 11 3 - side two - 847904 2Y//1V420 11 7. I've graded the record as Ex+.
I try to grade everything very conservatively and I believe that the winner of this auction will not be disappointed. I guarantee everything I sell. This record hardly ever turns up now.
THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS ITEM.
