Gentle Giant: "Octopus" 1972, UK/Vertigo 6360 080. Disc is in beautiful EX to M- shape, the only flaw to note is that the B-side label was placed off-center on the disc (see pic), and both labels show some spindle marks. Gatefold cover has some ringwear, mostly on the rear panel, no creases, splits or writing, this cover gets a VG grade. Has a poly-lined Vertigo inner sleeve though I'm not sure it's correct (code is 0374). Trail-offs are as follows: Side 1: 6360080 1Y#1?420 11 2  04 Side 2: 6360080 2Y#1?420 11 2  04 Highly-rated GG LP and very rare on the original label... check out a track on YouTube via this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGF4mdH7e38

Everything I offer is guaranteed. I try to note any flaws with the disc and the cover so that there are no surprises when the box arrives. Be sure to view my other iamthewitch auctions as I have other interesting items up for grabs this week.

I ship all records in strong cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The discs are always removed from the jackets to prevent seam splits, and all albums are dressed in plastic sleeves for travel. Please be aware that these supplies are expensive to purchase and may represent a small portion of my shipping charges. I pack/ship one day per week, usually it is Friday.
