Description
Please Read All Information Carefully Before Placing A Bid.
If You Have Any Questions Relating To This Item,
Please Ask Before Placing A Bid. Thank You.
All Photos Are of The Actual Item - NOT LIBRARY SHOTS. This is the 1970 UK first issue 7-track STEREO LP - the earliest pressing - featuring an erroneous copyright warning inside the gatefold stating that “Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings…”
Later pressings and reissues corrected this copyright warning to “Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings…”
The large Vertigo logo appears above the spindle hole and the wording ''Vertigo'' below the spindle hole along with the credit 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' text denotes the earliest first pressing. These key identifiers are all present on this LP.

Matrix / Runout (Side A, stamped, variant 1): V0 6 1Y * 1 420 12 5 / Runout (Side B, stamped, variant 1): V0 6 2Y * 1 420 12 6
Vinyl remains visually , lustrous side A is a very strong EX plays through with NO scratches, Junps OR Hiss. This LP is highly original
Side B is a very strong EX plays through with NO scratches,Junps OR Hiss
Both Philips labels look like they were printed only last week, very clean, crisp black and white factory printed, without any graffiti, handwriting, stickers or notable spindle marks.
This is a brilliant copy of this LP and one that is already extremely hard to find. It was released before Bowie's Mercury UK release of The Man Who Sold The World and an early first Phillips pressing with Misprint is now just as hard to find in any condition.
Now please read on about the gatefold sleeve.
The LP sleeve is one of the best in extant, a lightly textured gatefold in excellent condition, no ring wear, only normal light shelf wear, minor corner rubs and some light wear to the extremities but the spine title credits are fully intact, colorful and very clear. See the many photographs provided.
The original 1970 MADE IN ENGLAND Vertigo "Swirl" record bag is still with the LP, it has the anti-static liner VG+
The spindle hole look like this record has never been played no spindle marks that I can see it still has bits of vinyl around it see pictures
THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PLAY TESTED AND AUDIO PLAYBACK is great
We Post the first 2 records for the same price as one UK ONLY 1 = £3.80 2 = £3.80 Mint (M) ? Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.Near Mint (NM) ? The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent (E) ? Same but I'd tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good Plus (VG+) ? A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.
