DR. Z - "THREE PARTS TO MY SOUL"  Original UK 1st Press VERTIGO SWIRL !!!!MEGA RARE!!!! Up for sale is this MEGA RARE copy of the MONSTER PROG album Dr. Z - "Three Parts To My Soul". This is a genuine UK FIRST PRESSING on the legendary VERTIGO SWIRL label! 
LESS THAN 100 COPIES ARE KNOWN TO EXIST of this particular LP, WORLDWIDE!!!! This is the UK version and is even more rare than other versions!!!! This record is extremely hard to find in ANY CONDITION!!! 

RECORD: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) to VERY GOOD (VG) The overall condition of the record is VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) to VERY GOOD (VG). The record is visually in EXCELLENT (EX) condition! The vinyl has kept most of its shine and has some normal hairlines because of sleeve removal. However, there is one very minor scratch on track B1, which causes very minor clicks/pops, which are BARELY AUDIBLE!!! (SEE PICTURES!!) Other than this, there are no significant scratches, only the already mentioned hairlines. The record plays very nicely through, WITHOUT ANY SKIPS OR REPEATS. The sound is still very clear and crisp and is still very enjoyable, but I have to mention there is quite some surface noise (this seems to be very typical for this particular record!)! Actually, there is more surface noise than you would expect by grading the record visually. Therefore, I would say the playback is more like a strong VERY GOOD (VG) to VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+). For this reason,  and as a way of precaution, I will only grade the record as a strong VERY GOOD (VG)! 
The labels are still very nice and are in NEAR MINT (NM) condition!!
COVER: FAIR (F)  The cover of the album has seen better days and is in FAIR (F) condition! The two fold-out flaps that cover the heart are missing, as is the spine. There is a major sticker tear on the top left corner, which has some signs of a text marker (SEE PICTURES!!!!). There is also some tear at the red heart, which has been colored by a red marker. There is also a number written on the top right corner with permanent marker. On the back, there is some wear and some tears and the song titles are marked with a pencil. SEE PICTURES FOR A GOOD IDEA OF THE CONDITION!!! The original swirl inner sleeve is present and is in EXCELLENT (EX) condition!! The date code on the inner sleeve is 0671, which matches the release date of the record and which indicates this is the correct inner sleeve! This makes this copy EVEN MORE RARE!!!! The "inverted" black swirl inner sleeves you sometimes see in other auctions are not the original inner sleeve!! This copy does come with a "non-inverted" inner sleeve, which is the ORIGINAL AND CORRECT INNER SLEEVE!!! 
NOTE: If wanted, I can provide a replica cover from a reissue of this record. CONTACT ME FOR THIS!!!
Overall, this is a very decent copy, and the vinyl record itself is in VERY GOOD (VG) to VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition, which makes this a MEGA RARE and HARD TO COME BY record!!! GRAB YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THIS MONSTER PROG ALBUM!!!! 
IT'S RARE!!!!!!! NO RESERVE!!

Please note that I already have years of experience with selling online items on other local auction sites, so bid with confidence! ;) 

HAPPY BIDDING!!!
