I’M SELLING A BIG PART OF MY 30 YEARS COLLECTION OF 60’s AND 70’s PROG,PSYCH AND FOLK LPs..BOUGHT MOST OF THEM VERY NEAR NEW (MANY OF THEM NEW),ALL HAVE BEEN PROPERLY STORED AND KEPT IN PLASTIC SLEEVES IN A SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENT AWAY FROM SUNSHINE ALL THESE YEARS-NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER BEEN TO PARTIES OR LENT TO ANYONE ( I NEVER TRUSTED ANYONE WITH MY RECORDS !!) ,MOST OF THEM HAD ONLY A HANDFUL OF PLAYS SINCE I ALWAYS MADE TAPE AND CD COPIES OF MY LPs..I’VE ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY PICKY AND FUSSY ABOUT CONDITIONS,SO YOU WON’T FIND ANY ABUSED LP’s HERE WITH NASTY SCRATCHES..

Patto: Hold your fire VERTIGO  6360 032 UK

Original first UK pressing with flip-cover, HEAVY vinyl and original swirl inner sleeve …

cover:  original three part flip-cover,superb  clean EX+/EX++ with few LIGHT creases,TINY amount of corner wear  …has been kept in a protective plastic sleeve since new so there’s no signs of heavy use on it at all....spine is nice,clean and uncrushed with LIGHT rubbing on top of the text ….the inside opening edges are vice,clean and sharp….top and bottom edges are also extremely clean,there’s NO signs of wear at all.....no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

record,visual: pressed on HEAVY vinyl (which is the evidence of the VERY FIRST pressing),…both sides are superb clean and have that „just pressed” shiny look that only UNPLAYED/BARELY played records have….easily grades a MINT-.. .it still retains it’s beautiful original sheen and looks VERY NEAR NEW  !!

record,audio:  THE ENTIRE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED FROM START TO END-THE AUDIO IS  GREAT WITH  CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH  GREAT DELIVERY AND  STEREO IMAGE… ABSOLUTELY NO  POPS/CLICKS AT ALL,NEEDLESS TO SAY NO SKIPS,JUMPS OR STICKING EITHER…SMALLEST AMOUNT OF  LIGHT  BACKGROUND NOISE IN THE RUN-IN/RUN-OFF GROOVES ( THIS NOT A CD !!) BUT THAT’S ABOUT  ALL … THIS COPY HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR  MANY YEARS AND I HIGHLY DOUBT IT’S EVER BEEN   PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED ON A „VPI” OR SIMILAR MACHINE-HOWEVER,EVEN WITHOUT BEING CLEANED THIS IS JUST ABOUT AS GOOD AS YOU’LL EVER FIND…
