Description
*HOLY GRAIL* Vertigo Swirl White Label Test Pressing Lp Comp 1969 Unreleased.
There is no known number of copies made, but they all had writing of the track list from the same person on the labels.
As all six tracks come from the first three Vertigo albums VO1, VO2 & VO3 and there is a named Vertigo Sampler II which features six tracks from the next three albums this release must be Vertigo Sampler I. As per the definitive Vertigo Swirl website Vertigo had a 'somewhat clumsy strategy to (often) release three albums at once, a policy that was adopted probably to reduce advertising costs, but that ultimately only served to let many releases sink without leaving a trace on the market'. Hence why both Samplers I & II feature three albums apiece.
(Side 1) Matrix / Runout: 88517 1Y?1 420 111
(Side 2) Matrix / Runout: 88517 2Y*2 420 111
Track listing:
A1 Juicy Lucy: Mississippi Woman
A2 Juicy Lucy: Just One Time
A3 Colosseum: Kettle
B1 Colosseum: Elegy
B2 Manfred Mann: Travelling Lady
B3 Manfred Mann: Snakeskin Garter
Vinyl condition: Good
The vinyl plays well and in mono (even though there were no mono Vertigo records) although there is crackle that does not overpower the music. There is absolutely no skips or jumps.
The album never came in a sleeve as there were none made for it. It will be supplied in a new sleeve.
