Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years. My main interest has been PROGRESSIVE especially the VERTIGO SWIRL/SPIRAL LABEL, reputed to be the most collectable label in the world?

I have finally finished my SWIRL collection of over 160 albums of which most are UK pressings, and now I am going to SELL them ( I must be mad ). I have been quite fussy about the QUALITY, CONDITION and they must be the VERY FIRST PRESSINGS. The latter has been the hardest to decipher and has had me buying and selling many copies of the same album to achieve this, and I have for nearly all of this series of collectable gems.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWSOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

SO HERE WE GO.......

For sale here is URIAH HEEP---VERY 'EAVY, VERY 'UMBLE UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING WITH VERY FIRST PRESSING SLEEVE,1970, stereo 6360 006. The 12th of 87 UK pressings on this label. THE FIRST SLEEVE TO BE LAMINATED IN THIS SERIES.

SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD and LAMINATED. This sleeve is hard to find in any sort of reasonable condition never mind this FANTASTIC ALMOST MINT condition. Well here it is a GENUINE VERY FIRST PRESSING. This is an out standing copy of this sleeve , it has that JUST OF THE PRESS look with a deep shine with the lightest of surface wear hardly noticable really. It is very flat and square. The colours are very strong and vibrant LIKE NEW. The edges are N/MINT as is the spine. The front is N/MINT with almost NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE, NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS, NO GLUE RESIDUE, NO LIFTING TO THE LAMINATED SURFACE AND NO CREASES. The rear  is in the same wonderful condition. The spine is FULLY legible and LOOKS NEW. The inside gatefold is in fantastic condition and looks MINT. The only signs of wear are to the very tips of the corners and the tiniest amount of creasing to the laminated surface that was caused during it's manufacture. This album comes with I'ts ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING SWIRL INNER SLEEVE in fantastic condition  N/MINT. All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 36 year old sleeve.

LABELS......This is a genuine first pressing. Both labels are in wonderful condition, beautifully white with very few spindle marks on both sides! This album can only have been  played on a handful of occasions and with the utmost care. N/MINT.

VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. As for surface marks you have to hold this album in the very brightest of lights to see any kind of surface marks !!! it is un blemished and looks MINT (a word I do not use very often). In normal daylight this album is PRISTINE. Both sides play WITHOUT SCRATCHES, CLICKS OR JUMPS. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo seperation.This is a superb album in the most wonderful of conditions HARDLY EVEN A CRACKLE BETWEEN THE TRACKS, ALMOST SILENT!!!. These HEAVY VINYL origional pressings are second to none. This really is a top copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER . ( the very,very few dust crackles could probably be removed by a professional clean ) This album does play as near to MINT as you are ever going to find, "STUNNING"

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS ON THIS OR ANY LABEL AND GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. IT IS SUPER RARE IN THIS WONDERFUL CONDITION.DONT MISS THIS ONE.

THERE CANT BE MANY LEFT IN THIS  NEAR MINT CONDITION. "STUNNING"
