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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

BRITISH VERTIGO SWIRL - 6360 073
Plays CLEAN
Rare and sought after...Original 1972 BRITISH first pressing on the SWIRL VERTIGO label ... Thoroughly solid, excellent and diverse progressive rock with great moves, infectious compositions...
INCLUDES the awesome HUGE fold out poster cover
Includes the plastic lined VERTIGO inner sleeve (all as pictured)
Pathfinder is mix an heavy rock and melodic progressive movements that combines long suites to some shorter songs in the vein of Cressida or Raw Material, and with a constant presence of a mellotron and harpsichord keyboards -- listen to them in the long strange and *best* version of "McArthur Park." As in the first Beggar's Opera albums, there's always an aggressive electric guitar, which compensates for the sometimes melodic atmospheres...Other standouts includes a couple of sinister, occult-themed songs, with "The Witch" and "Madame Doubtfire" that could remind you of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown (without Arthur Brown's distinct vocals) or Black Widow -- the music is actually quite in line with British progressive rock of the time: emphasis on strong melodies. As for the keyboards, the hammond organ is by for the most dominant. "Hobo" which starts the album off bold & rocked-out in a very catchy affair, and the title track has great vocal harmonies that sound exactly how the Byrds might have sounded like if they were a progressive band. Some collectors consider "PATHFINDER" as their peak...
