Description
As follows:
Philips Vertigo VO 1.
Colosseum - Valentyne Suite.
Gatefold Sleeve, UK Pressing.
Originally released in November 1969, this may be a slightly later pressing, due to the lack of the 'Philips' credit on the Side B label.
A Fantastic LP, and the first LP to be released on the Philips 'Vertigo' label, often called the 'vertigo swirl' or 'vertigo spiral' due to the iconic artwork used on the Side A labels.
An unusual fusion of progressive rock, hard rock, and blues/jazz rock. Featuring Dave Greenslade on keys, and ex Graham Bond Organization saxophonist; Dick Heckstall-Smith. Neil Ardley also helped with several arrangements.
Condition Vinyl: VG+/VG+
Plays very well, some light crackle and a few isolated ticks and pops. The entirety of this lp has been listened to; sounded fantastic.
Condition Sleeve: VG
Some edge wear, but in good shape, some corner wear and a very minor seam split (see photo), but nothing serious, a nice thick sturdy sleeve.
The original inner has three discrete tears to one side, see photo.
One label (the one with the large spiral) has some minor spindle wear.
Record Collector Price Guide grading system used.
No warping to this LP.
Play Tested.
FREE UK POSTAGE.
