Description
ARTIST: URIAH HEEP
TITLE: VERY ‘EAVY…VERY ‘UMBLE
RECORDING FORMAT: LP
LABEL: VERTIGO 6360 006 (Swirl / Spiral Label)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: UNITED KINGDOM
YEAR OF RELEASE: 1970
MATRIX CODE SIDE A: 6360006 1Y/1^420 L 1 (Stamped)
MATRIX CODE SIDE B: 6360006 2Y/1^420 L 1 1 (this second 1 is stamped backwards) (Stamped)
COVER: The laminated gatefold cover is only in GOOD condition overall as it has been damaged due to poor storage (it was at the bottom of a box of vinyl). The cover is slightly squashed and uneven and there are signs of ring wear on both the front and back. On the back cover opening edge there is damage to the laminate and paper is visible for a strip of about 3 inches. The spine is fully intact with a slight crease through the middle, the writing is still legible. The inside of the gatefold is also in good condition. Along the top edge where the laminate is glued there is a section of paper where the sleeve has stuck together at some point. This has caused a strip of paper approx 3 inches long on each side of the g/fold. Overall the sleeve is a little tatty hence the GOOD rating.
VINYL: In contrast to the sleeve the LP is in EXCELLENT condition. The playing surface is very clean with just a few visible signs that it has been played. There are a few minor marks visible when looking under very strong light.
LABELS: Both labels are very clean with just a couple of spindle marks on each side.
INNERSLEEVE: Has the original VERTIGO swirl / spiral innersleeve which is in GOOD condition. There is a seam split from top to bottom on the left hand side. Apart from that tear the inner bag is in excellent condition. The inner plastic sleeve is still intact. On the bag itself is the text "plastic bags can be…etc", the British Patent No. 800513 & 978939 and with the numbers B 1/0470 on bottom left next to Made In England.

Note: This LP has come from a collection I am selling on behalf of someone who was working in the music industry at this time, as a result there are many records from this period in mint / near mint condition in the collection. I will not be accepting any offers on this item and will wait for the auction to run its course. The low starting price is to create interest.
Check out my other, and future, auctions for more rarities, promos, demos, test pressings, and acetates etc from this period. More Vertigo rarities to be put up for auction soon…
PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL. THANK YOU.
