DIES IRAE - 

FORMULA 3

1st Italian Press

NUMERO UNO 

 ZSLN 55010


Stunning rarity which barely ever comes up for sale and I am selling this with some hesitation as it will not be possible to replace but sometimes needs force ... Someone will be very happy with this absolute jewel.

1ST PRESS- NUMERO UNO 1970 Heavy  press with the first labels
****VERY SCARCE DEBUT - FINAL UPGRADE IN MUSEUM LIKE CONDITION*****ONE OF THE VERY HARDEST TO FIND ESSENTIAL ITALIAN PSYCH LP'S!!! A CLASSIC IN ITS OWN RIGHT AND MADE IN 1970 .

 A REALLY HARD  ISSUE TO FIND,ESPECIALLY IN THIS BARELY PLAYED SUPREME CONDITION
+++  THE BEST ORIGINAL  EVER, IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS FOR THIS 50 YEAR OLD RARITY +++


ELUSIVE PSYCH MONSTER!!! STUNNING SONG CRAFT!!! AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT  PSYCH/PROG TOP ACTS!!!


!!!!AN EXTREMELY HARD FIND!!! A few hundred (rumoured to be around 500) were ever pressed of this fantastic prog/psych album. Similar to Alphataurus, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Museo Rosenbach etc. It is hard to understand why this never sold in larger numbers. This copy will be an upgrade for the most demanding collectors and seems actually barely played or even unplayed.

 

 

In all my years this is only the second time I have come across this ultra rare LP of which only 500 are rumoured to be about. Rare ... anyone?? This one is more desirable still as the vinyl has barely been played. Even the sleeve is approaching mint state.

Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .  Inspected under an intense light source and angled.


  Vinyl: EX++/NM!! A sensational find worthy of an archive upgrade!!! This vinyl has probably not ever been played. There are not even any spindle traces. I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. There are NO jumps NO skips NO sticks. This vinyl has barely been played. There are no hairlines at all even under a strong light source this vinyl is close to over the counter condition. There are not even any retraction paper traces like 99% of  vinyls have under a strong light. The audio is supreme without anything to be desired , I have played this in its entirety on my Linn/Sondek/Arcam/B&W system!! This is the ultimate KEEPER copy that will serve as a very healthy investment for the future!! I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great psych and prog collection.

 

      Sleeve:  NM.  Laminated. NO creases. Wonderfully laminated sleeve. A sensational upgrade hardly found in this beautifully preserved condition. Beautiful dead straight edges and a great crisp opening. This one is very close to perfect!!! I think it will be a very difficult task to find this album at all any time soon, leave alone in this STUNNING condition!!! The spine is 100%  without ANY colour loss at all.  The opening is still super crisp. It is extremely hard to find this album at all. Finding it in this supreme top condition is nearly impossible!!! I can only publish 12 pictures in the listing and realise that more pictures may be required for collectors of top items. Please do not hesitate to ask me for alternate views etc. and I will gladly provide these.


Original printed inner as well in EX++ condition and coloured. Poly lined and even this inner is hard to find.



Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!
