COLOSSEUM
~ VALENTYNE SUITE ~
(1969 VERTIGO RECORDS - RARE UK FIRST PRESSING - LARGE SWIRL - PHILIPS CREDIT!)
ON OFFER HERE IS THIS RARE, UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE AMAZING ALBUM “VALENTYNE SUITE” BY COLOSSEUM ON THE VERTIGO LABEL.
THIS STUNNING LP IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE AND IN IT’S ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS: VERTIGO VO 1
MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: 886 775 1Y*1 / 886 775 2*Y*1
THE SLEEVE
THE MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR. THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. THE EDGES ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT. THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS JUST ABOUT LEGIBLE. THE PROBLEM THAT LETS THIS SLEEVE DOWN IS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER ‘PROTECTED’ THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WITH CLEAR TAPE. THIS TAPE HAS NOW FALLEN OFF LEAVING STAINS AND MARKS ON FRONT AND BACK ADJACENT TO THE EDGES.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE POLY-LINED VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME DISCOLOURATION, CAUSED BY THE ADHESIVE USED TO ATTACH THE POLY-BAG TO THE PAPER SLEEVE. THERE IS A SMALL NICK AT THE DIE-CUT CENTRE.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT MARKS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT BOTH BRILLIANT SIDES.
THE LABELS
THE LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABELS, WITH THE ‘PHILIPS’ CREDIT, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PER SIDE.
SIDE ONE
1. THE KETTLE
2. ELEGY
3. BUTTY’S BLUES
4. THE MACHINE DEMANDS A SACRIFICE
SIDE TWO
THE VALENTYNE SUITE:
1. THEME ONE - JANUARY’S SEARCH
2. THEME TWO - FEBRUARY’S VALENTYNE
3. THEME THRE - THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ....
