URIAH    HEEP ...very    'eavy  ...very 'umble      RARE SOUTH AFRICAN 1ST PRESS LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL ALBUM, PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL AND SOUNDS AWESOME, COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER !!!!
'URIAH HEEP' WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1969, AND THIS IS THEIR AWESOME DEBUT 1ST ALBUM, AND A REAL MUST HAVE FOR ANY ROCK VINYL COLLECTION. THIS IS A RARE SOUTH AFRICAN 1ST PRESS AND THE AUDIO REALLY IS OUTSTANDING AND WILL TAKE SOME BEATING, AND IT COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 SOUTH AFRICAN  1ST PRESS  ::  1 Y //1   V 420  ::   2Y//1  V 420 .  
ON THE LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: VO 6360 006 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED WITH A BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE. THE LAMINATE WHEN PRESSED HAS NOT REACHED THE EDGES SO THERE IS A NON LAMINATED THIN BORDER AROUND THREE SIDE EDGES ON THE FRONT, AND JUST THE OPENING EDGE ON THE BACK, AND THE SPINE IS LAMINATED AND ALSO FULLY READABLE AND IN LOVELY SOLID CONDITION, THE SAME AS THE EDGES !!!! INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES AND JUST A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR ON THE BACK, SEEN ONLY WHEN ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NO WRITING, STICKERS, SPLITS ETC. IT IS A BIT BETTER THAN VG+, SO I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- . PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU !!!!

VINYL :: PRESSED ON REAL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL AS IT IS A LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL PRESS, AND YOU REALLY CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE AUDIO CLARITY. SUPERB DEEP CRISP AND CLEAR SOUND WITH JUST FIVE VERY FAINT TICKS ON SIDE 1, WHILE ON SIDE 2 NOTHING !!!! VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HOLDS A VERY NICE SHINE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, CAN YOU SEE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, A LONG COSMETIC HAIRLINE ON SIDE 2, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC THIN SCUFF LINES, AND REALLY THEY ALL VANISH WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, SO NOTHING FEELABLE OR NASTY WHICH SHOWS IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION AND AUDIO GRADE. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND I PLAYS LOVELY, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY IMPRESSIVE  :: EX+ .  AND IN NO WAY OVER GRADED !!!!

LABELS ::  NICE AND CLEAN SO NO WRITING :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL SWIRL POLYLINED INNER ::  'MADE IN ENGLAND', WITH NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND SOME CREASING IN THE CORNERS. NOW I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE INNER;S WERE MADE IN ENGLAND AND SENT TO SOUTH AFRICA  :: VG+/EX- . THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER !!!!

BRILLIANT ALBUM, AND IT PLAYS BRILLIANT, WITH THE AUDIO ONLY A 1ST PRESS SWIRL CAN GIVE YOU. NICE SOLID ORIGINAL GATEFOLD AND NICE SOLID INNER !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.
