SUCK IT AND SEE Double LP Compilation. 1970-1973 Sampler
Vertigo records came about in 1969, as Phonogram's progressive music label in the UK. Prior to "Suck it and see", released in 1973, samplers from the label tended to be low key affairs. With this album though, they decided to catch up with the competition and offer a double LP packed with top acts, for less than the normal price of a standard LP. This collection therefore contains music from 1970 through to 1973. The sleeve and title borrow more than a little from CBS records "Fill your head with rock", with a giant image of a stick of rock on the front. By the time of this album, the famous swirl logo had been relegated to a supporting roll, with Roger Dean's spaceships image being the dominant feature. (Review by Easy Livin)
I have graded record 6499 387 Excellent and record 6499 386 Very Good Plus, as there is a visible mark on the last track of Side 1 although it played well without interruption
I have graded the gatefold sleeve Excellent
But with apologies to any watchers that may have thought of buying at £25, the price on the original listing, I'm so sorry but it has been pointed out to me that I've been under-selling some of the vinyl (my late husband's collection of 250+) and this sampler is a case in point. I toyed with leaving it but decided to split the difference and sell it for £40.

A note about postage. To Europe the flat rate post rate is £12 and not £20, as this applies to Worldwide, US, Canada, etc. which for a good and reliable service costs £23.50. If somebody in Europe wants to buy this album, please mail me first and I will alter the postage settings for you so that ebay don't auto charge you £20. Thank you.
