Vertigo 1971
Superb early pressing - the first on the Vertigo Spaceship labels which replaced the Swirl labels in late 1972. This copy retains the first pressing 1Y1 2Y1 matrix codes from the original Swirl release. It is in effect, therefore, a first pressing vinyl with updated labels - a rare and sought after pressing including the first issue laminated box sleeve.
Vinyl: The vinyl is superb - it appears very lightly played and retains a wonderfully vibrant, unmarked playing surface with stunning labels - a beautiful copy.
Sleeve: VG to VG+ Difficult to find in top condition, the sleeve here shows some evidence of storage and handling but retains a solid appearance. Check photos for further details.
Inner/inserts: Original inner - white with blue text. EX+
