I'M PROUD TO PRESENT THIS RARE ORIGINAL UK ALBUM: "GENTLE GIANT - THREE FRIENDS" ON THE ORIGINAL UK  "SWIRL" VERTIGO 6360 070 RECORDS LABEL FROM 1972 !!! HOLY GRAIL PROG ROCK LP ESPECIALLY IN THIS AWESOME CONDITION!  THE RECORD IS IN FANTASTIC EX+/NM CONDITION, PLAYS AWESOME ON EACH SIDE AND LOOKS LIKE FRESH PRESSED!!! THE COVER IS THE GREAT UK 1ST PRESS "MATT" GATEFOLD COVER WITH "VO PRICE CODE"! AS YOU CAN SEE IS THE COVER IS IN  NEAR MINT CONDITION, SEE PICS!  TRY TO FIND ANOTHER COPY LIKE THIS ONE!!!  A FANTASTIC COLLECTOR'S COPY! COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE!

                                 Vinyl: EX++. I have played this in full> There are NO jumps, NO clicks and NO sticks!!! Under a strong light a couple of tiny wispy retraction hairlines but these cannoy be heard on replay. Under a normal light it looks NM. The audio is stunning all the way and this album sounds fantastic and was totally underrated at the time. It totally went under the radar and is now extremely scarce especially as a first issue on the UK swirl label!! I was just now listening to "Peel the Paint" and "Mister Class and Quality?". Unbelievable musicianship and no wonder that this album is so much sought after.

                        Gatefold Sleeve: NM. What can I say? This has to be the very best of this album I have ever come across!!!! This will sit proudly in even the most demanding of collections. An absoluty fantastic upgrade!! Rich like newly printed colours, this has been stored away from sunlight for nearly 40 years. No stickers, NO writing, NO smudges .... and ... NO creases. This looks as if it was purchased yesterday over the counter of a 70's record shop. All edges are 100% WITHOUT ANY WEAR!!! Just look at the pictures. Notoriously hard to find but impossible in this condition!!!

                    Labels: EX+.  Hardly any spindle mark. One faint library stamp on on side that does not distract from the utter beauty of this class album. 

                        Inner sleeve: EX. An original polylined swirl sleeve that has light age related yellowing but is otherwise in excellent condition without  splits or tears.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. But in this superb condition ....? Golddust!!

Important :International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 41.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

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!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
