The Cat. No is 6360 074 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' Label (see picture) and is a UK 1972 Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and AMAZINGLY only 1 TINY spindle mark!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  There is also some absolutely ULTRA low level background sound on the run on grooves & VERY occasional gap (NOT in the music AT ALL!) - though this is so clearly from the original pressing of the record (NOT from any wear!) as this record has only been played ONCE!!!!  The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent++++ if not better!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'poly lined' Vertigo inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition and most importantly UNSPLIT!!!!   The 1st Press Gatefold 'Die-Cut'' Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!!  It has NO edgewear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO sticker tears, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO ringwear, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), and NO writing!!!!  Typically (and virtually unavoidable on this cover!) the exposed Catapillas head on the top right front corner of the cover does have a (perfectly repaired) split on the left of the 'head' - though this has been AMAZINGLY well repaired (NO tape!), is PERFECTLY strong, and INCREDIBLY unnoticeable!!!!  And apart from this VERY minor point - this cover is as close to 'record shop condition' as it is possible to get and has to be one of the BEST examples left in existence!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO writing, and barely ANY rubbing AT ALL!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - but most would grade MUCH higher and in truth this is without ANY doubt on of the BEST examples you will EVER see!!!!  THIS LP IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME VERTIGO RARITIES AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!  It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!!  THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL 1972 UK VERTIGO 1ST PRESSING OF "CHANGES" BY CATAPILLA, IN SUPERB CONDITION!!!!   Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs and contact me with any queries you may have.
