Hello there Vertigo fans!!,

      Hello there all! My name is Tyler, and I am huge Vertigo fan (fanatic)/collector, and have collected over many, many years my lot of over 50 or so of the Genuine UK Original First Press Vertigos! You may remember me months back on ebay (Check my feedback) selling my non-UK Vertigos/collectibles, and during that time, I stated in so many words, that I would never part with my UK Vertigos, as I cherish them so, and because they are the most collectable! Well, it's time I guess to go against my word, and start selling them off (Due to space constraints, etc.), so keep checking back often to see what UK Vertigos I'm putting up (All of them Genuine UK First Presses)! So good luck, have fun collecting these gems, as I have over the years, and if you have any questions or comments for me, please feel free to contact me at anytime! So here we go...

  Up for sale is - Patto - Hold Your Fire - 6360 032 - Swirl Labels, Swirl Inner - Genuine UK Original First Press - The 37th of 88 UK pressings on this label. Check back often in the next few days, as more UK Original First Presses will follow!!

Details -

Sleeve - This gatefold, gimmixed, and un-laminated sleeve is in overall M- condition. The front, outer white cover, with all it's colors of the characters, is still retaining all its vibrancy, has no blotches or marks from aging on it, and is in M condition. As I'm sure you know, the front, outer cover is divided into three flaps, which are VERY delicate, and are prone to wear and tear...well, not these flaps! Each flap is intact, fully workable, and has no rips or tears to it, therefore, they are all in M- condition (A super, very strong EX+ at the worst! I've taken as many pics as I can of the flaps, to show their brilliancy). The back of each flap has either a pic of the band members, or the track listings on them, and each pic and all the writing is in perfect condition, therefore, is in M- condition. The front, inner cover, which basically holds the record intact, after the flaps are opened, is comparable to the front, outer cover, in that it still is retaining all its vibrancy, has no blotches or marks on it, and therefore, is also in M condition. The back of the cover, which includes the lyrics, and is also prone to wear and tear, is in perfect condition, and is in M- condition. A superb, and perfect sleeve, given it's age, and delicateness!!     

Labels/Spine/Inner - Both sides labels are clean, and in M condition, and the matrix numbers accompanying the labels are machine stamped (As is the case with all UK First Presses). The spine is in M- condition, and is fully readable! The matrix numbers (Father, mother, child) stamped on the album are the very desireable 1 1 1, which signifies a true first press! A swirl inner sleeve is included, and comes in EX+. 

Vinyl - The vinyl comes in M- condition, has no marks or scratches on it, and still has its beautiful, black shine! A lovely and superb album! I recently listened to the LP, and there are no jumps, skips, or crackles when playing the LP, so this LP is very nice, and is a real keeper for all you Vertigo collectors out there!  

Don't miss out on acquiring this unbelievably rare LP, especially in this condition! I've taken it out of it's protective sleeve twice since I've owned it throughout the years; once, to play it for recording purposes, and the other, to take pics of it for this auction, so it hasn't been abused, and has been more than taken care of over the years!! It's definitely Patto's shining moment as a band (In my opinion), and Ossie's playing, which is otherworldly to begin with, is beyond that on this LP (Just wait till you hear "Air Raid Shelter"...unbelievable!!)!

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at anytime, and I'll try to get back in touch with you as soon as possible! Otherwise, good luck and happy bidding! Cheers! Tyler   

Shipping/Payment - Will be calculated after auction ends, but I'm very fair with my shipping rates, as I'm a fellow collector, and am not in this to make any extra money off shipping, but if you do have any questions/comments about shipping, feel free to contact me at anytime, and I'll try to answer your question to the best of my ability!! Payment types accepted are Paypal, personal check, or money order (The green ones, as I reside in the US), but if you need to use another form of payment, feel free to email me beforehand and let me know what you plan to use, as I'm sure I'll be open to accepting it!! Thanks again for looking, and good luck bidding!! Cheers!!
