ULTRA RARE UK VERTIGO ORIGINAL & EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1ST PRESS FROM 1970 ON THE ORIGINAL UK SWIRL VERTIGO LABEL - WITH STAMPED, EARLIEST MATRIX!!! ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS IN MATT FOLD OUT COVER AND WITH "VO PRICE CODE' ON BACK COVER!
STAMPED MATRIX: 1Y/1 & 2Y/1 - IT MEANS: THE EARLIEST EVER!

Absolutely superb copy of this first pressing.

Because this is such a valuable item, I want to be scrupulously honest about its condition.

The vinyl:

I have played both sides of this album to make sure that it sounds as good as it looks. It does.

Both surfaces are clean and glossy and on first appearances look almost mint. In a strong light you can just see a couple of minor marks which prevent it from being mint, but these in NO WAY affect the sound of the record.

There are no pops, cracks, jumps, hiss etc.

Only very minor spindle wear, and both labels are ex++ too.

I would class both sides as ex+ to ex++.

The cover:

I would rate this as EX. There is some ring wear and the top and bottom corners of the spine and a small scuff on the front cover.

The Inner Sleeve:

Original Vertigo spiral swirl- no tears! A bit discoloured through age, and creased at the corners.

+ points:

- points:

You will be hard-pushed to find a copy of this album in better condition without a time machine!

I will post this well-packaged fully insured - too valuable not to!

Any questions, please do ask.
