  ATLANTIS -

IT'S GETTING BETTER!

VERTIGO

1st UK Press 1973 TEST PRESS!

6360 614

Machined matrices:

1Y//2   2Y//1

 Rare, never seen before test press of this quality progressive album. In the vein of FRUMPY before and Atlantis is the continuation of FRUMPY with Inga Rumpf on vocals.

Labels clean and unmarked and NM.

Play test showed superb clear sound.

Here is a chance to own a copy of a very rare and desirable test press of this rare album. Not many do come up for sale at all. This one is esp. for the supreme vinyl a superb upgrade/archive copy.

THE SUPREME VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

 IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

Vinyl: EX+/NM. A sublime vinyl with fantastic sound reproduction. Barely played and well cared for album and a fantastic upgrade for this ultra collectable title. No marks, no hairlines and even under a high wattage light bulb there aren't any of the obligatory paper retraction traces! Still looks gleaming and glossy like it was when sold over the counter. First press matrices and mother stampers. I have played this in full on my premium sound system (LINN SONDEK, B&W, ARCAM) and the stereo sound is simply supreme and this plays with strong gusto. NO skips, jumps crackle etc. This will be a fantastic item for most long time psych/blues/prog collectors! A true upgrade in museum condition.

 Sleeve: EX. No tears or splits. The colours are rich and the sleeve lies flat. The spine is fully legible. Lightest of corner wear only, the edges are sublime. I have no hesitation grading this a comfortable EX.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questins please ask me and I will try to answer soon.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!
