You are bidding on…………….

Artist: Gordon

Title: Gordon (L.P.)

Cat no: 6360 069

Record condition: Ex with only the faintest of light wispy marks and nothing that causes any alarm.

Sleeve condition: Original sleeve is a non-gatefold with raised edge around picture and a white Vertigo logo. This one is a decent VG+ with some light ringwear. Original patent Vertigo inner is all present and correct.

Notes: This came to me as 'The best example' that remains of this rarest of Vertigo presings, and I have never touched it since!  The Gordon in question is one half of Peter & Gordon and so the liner notes claim that Gordon Waller was a product of the sixties. But, luckily, this is now a completely different Gordon: relaxed and much more mature. Then, the music.......The efficient backing band plays all possible stereotypes from the americana catalogue, and even expands it! The only track barely acceptable is written by Wainwright, everything else is of the lowest imaginable interest. A record as bad as its reputation. Probably this is the rarest regularly released Vertigo album, as almost no copies were sold in 1972. If a better one remains it is probably sealed. Play it or invest in it. This won't come along again anytime soon.

Our hero sports a Crosby-moustachio and a hat and is cuddling a flock of poultry on the front. Pretty cosy. The picture is slightly raised and printed on a glossy paper, whereas the border is not. This is a single cover, not a gatefold! On the back Gordon stands in the door opening of a large hall that is totally devoid of any furniture and looks stripped and abandoned. Not cosy, but somehow better.
The lettering is quite common, but its bordering ornaments are beautiful and well-chosen.

I have been a lover of music and collector of vinyl all my life. For health reasons, I am having to give up my job, so I am now hoping to turn my hobby into a small business. I will be selling all sorts of records and collectibles from the last 7 decades. I will always do my very best to describe each item honestly and to include as many pictures as I can. Please look at all the pictures, as I use real ones and not lazy stock photos, so what you see is always what you receive. I will also go into as much detail as time allows so that you can understand exactly what you are bidding on. However, if you are unhappy with your purchase in any way, I offer a full refund upon return of the item. (excludes ‘job-lots’).

I will always protect my records properly for posting and insist upon tracked and signed parcels outside of the UK, unless by prior agreement, as this helps reassure both of us. I will always combine multiple wins to keep postage as reasonable as possible.

I sometimes recycle poor records as extra strength for my packaging. Just for fun and good-will, every now and then, I pop in something tasty! A relatively valuable or iconic disc, so folks……………….

ALWAYS CHECK ANY BONUS PACKAGING CAREFULLY! You never know what goodies you might find!

When you find a nice bit of quality, please share the news anyway you like to do that. Oh, also mention the disc in feedback if you can. It is fun my end to see if all the treats and treasures get spotted. Good luck, and keep your eyes peeled, music lovers!

As well as the buying and selling of music and memorabilia, I offer lots of other services. Collections purchased. Comprehensive valuation service for single records or entire collections. Probate and disposal. Storage help and products. Cleaning service. Record protection. Rare vinyl finding service. Bespoke themed packs of 7”s or LP’s for 60s, 70s, 80s parties. Please email me for more details.
