This is an original UK FIRST PRESSING of the ridiculously rare  MANFRED MANN CHAPTER THREE LP by MANFRED MANN .  It is on the superb Swirls/Spiral Vertigo record label . Vertigo records is without doubt  the most collectible record label in the world. This LP is one of the more difficult to find  Vertigo Lp`s as it was one of the FIRST SIX VERTIGO LP`s to be put out. This is confirmed  by the text A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT printed in solid black beneath the VERTIGO  block printed logo centre bottom on the label beneath the words Manfred Mann chapter three.  So get your own copy out and check if it has the PRP text, if it does not ,your holding a later  pressing and not one of these seriously rare FIRST PRESSINGS . These first press Vertigo`s are near impossible to find as the years go by and in the rare condition that we have here,forget it. Because these original first pressing sleeves were never laminated most  of them have sustained serious damage. This one here is in lovely condition ! The sleeve has light creases to the front and back visible if you double click the shots and light edge  ware all around but it still looks in great shape. The dark areas of green are still very dark and hold  full colour. All the spinal writings are still there and clear and the wide spine has retained its square shape. Inside this 48 year old Gate Fold sleeve the condition is beautiful. This sleeve grades as VERY GOOD ++.  The original Vertigo inner sleeve is present and the cellophane is still completely attached. Another reason as  to why its so hard to find an original copy of this LP in great playing condition is this is one of the Vertigo LP`s  that is just a brilliant rock LP from start to finish with no filler . This LP is weird and totally un-commercial. I love the text inside the gate fold....After years of commercial success Manfred Mann wrote "This record represents in  general what we have been wanting to do for years" .  This record is in beautiful condition and plays through its entirety without jumping sticking or skipping.I have just got through test playing this record and its SUPERB all the way . The quiet ares are  silent other than the light noise of static as the needle passes through the dead wax but that`s just vinyl. When the music begins its beautiful.On both side of the vinyl of this record I can see just light marks that have no baring at all on how this record plays. Under a bright spot light there are the lightest of hairlines .  This record shimmers like mirror . The labels are stunning . A GENUINE FIRST PRESSING on one of the  first 6 Vertigo`s they ever put out. The sleeve is VERY GOOD ++ and the vinyl is in  VERY GOOD ++condition But it plays much better . EXCEPTIONALLY RARE in this condition ! So a great and a rare opportunity for you Vertigo collectors to enhance your already valuable  VERTIGO collection and grab an upgrade of this seriously rare Vertigo LP !
