Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

TOP COPY!
Well, here's one...thee Original 1971 BRITISH first pressing on the highly wanted SWIRL VERTIGO label in nice gatefold cover that includes the also sought after plastic lined SWIRL VERTIGO inner sleeve...pressings like this are getting hard to come by and expensively sought....
This '71 offering features a talented & often underated UK band, FREEDOM. Alternately psychedelic, hardrock and progressive, the guitar trio deserved to reach a wider audience than they did. Led by two former members of Procol Harum, FREEDOM found success in Germany & Italy with a sound that appealed to a generation of rock fans with first their heavy CREAM blues edged sound that, in a couple of years, smoothed and progressed into a more sophisticated sound using backdrop melloton in places using textured guitars and melodic hardrock passages within good lengthy self compositions which got them a record deal in the USA ... FREEDOM made two earlier albums in '69 & '70.
- Freedom: Walter Monaghan (vocals, electric piano, Mellotron, bass guitar);
- Bobby Harrison (vocals, drums, percussion);
- Roger Saunders (guitar, electric guitar).
