Description

This is Colosseum's Valentyne Suite album on the UK Vertigo Swirl label (V01 847 900 VTY), with a large swirl logo on the B side and "A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT" marked under the vertigo logo. It comes with the original vertigo inner.
It's in excellent condition for its age. 
There are no feelable scratches or writing on the sleeve or LP, though a small pen mark on one of the corners of the inner (see last photo). It's been a long time since I've played this record, but to the best of my recollection it had no noteworthy audible flaws.
I've graded the record and sleeve as EX/EX, but do understand that this is subjective and am more than happy to take a return if the buyer doesn't agree - I don't do partial refunds.
