CATAPILLA Changes UK VERTIGO Spiral 1st PRESS EX Prog Rock Classic GIMMIX COVER

SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS AND MUSIC MEMORABILIA

Here's an EX/EX copy of the ultra rare CHANGES by Catapilla on UK Vertigo; one of the rarest Vertigo spiral albums. The disc here is shiny and bright, and judging from the two or three spindle marks on each label, we'd guess this has been played perhaps three or four times. There are some light sleeve/hairline marks in one area on each side, we'd imagine from being in a stack of records at some point without a sleeve, but nothing remotely serious or feelable. They are only visible under bright direct incandescent light, and some would grade this disc NM. It sounds great--there is some light surface noise in the very quietest moments, but there aren't many quiet moments on this great album. A few light pops, but no skips or jumps or anything approaching this. We'd play grade this EX. The fragile "gimmix" cover is in great shape; there is a 1" tear in the catapilla's head just below the right eye, but it's completely intact, with no tape or glue--you can see this clearly in the last two photos--it could be easily repaired but we see no need to do so. There is a diagonal crease on the front cover just above the Vertigo logo in the bottom right cover, but as the photos show, it's nothing very noticeable. Otherwise the cover is very clean, as you can see from the photos. The original owner has neatly written the numbers "177" below the catalog number on the top right of the back cover (you can see this on the second photo--it's something we only just noticed when carefully examining the cover to describe here.) And yes, an original Vertigo spiral innersleeve is included. All in all, a very clean copy of a rare and great album.
