Description
BEGGARS OPERA
Pathfinder
1972
VERTIGO SWIRL 1st PRESS 6360 073 Matrix no's : 6360073 - 1//1 / 2//1The vinyl retains excellent sheen - even under bright light there are actually few visible marks and what there are are only hairlines. And this is confirmed on playback which is graded as a strong EXCELLENT - great sound, full and clear and with really very little audible surface noise to interfere...perhaps just the odd quiet click or pop here and there - record is in great shape and plays beautifully. The BLACK and WHITE VERTIGO LARGE SWIRL record labels are also graded EXCELLENT with very little visible spindle wear.
Comes with the ORIGINAL poly-lined SPIRAL INNER SLEEVE - graded EXCELLENT MINUS with slight discolouration to opening and bottom left but no splits or writing.
The quality card large FOLD OUT POSTER sleeve is also in great condition - very rarely seen one with so little wear ! Normally they are so often bent and torn and creased but this one is graded at least EXCELLENT PLUS - couple of corner dings and some slight small bends to the edges but really after 50 years its pretty darned good - a definite keepers copy !!
