Description
Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years. My main interest has been PROGRESSIVE especially the VERTIGO SWIRL/SPIRAL LABEL, reputed to be the most collectable label in the world?
I have finally finished my SWIRL collection of over 160 albums of which most are UK pressings, and now I am going to SELL them ( I must be mad ). I have been quite fussy about the QUALITY, CONDITION and they must be the VERY FIRST PRESSINGS. The latter has been the hardest to decipher and has had me buying and selling many copies of the same album to achieve this,and I almost have with these collectable gems.
I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.
SO HERE WE GO.......
For sale here is--HOKUS POKE--EARTH HARMONY--UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING WITH VERY FIRST PRESSING SLEEVE,1971, stereo 6360 064 The 62nd of 87 UK pressings on this label. THE REST WILL FOLLOW!
SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD FORMAT,GIMIXED and UN-LAMINATED. This sleeve is notorious for wear AND TEAR. Fortunately this one has survived very well, Showing a light amount of general wear. It is a GENUINE VERY FIRST PRESSING. The front sleeve is EX condition with NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS AND NO STAINING and NO DAMAGE TO THE CUT OUT .The top and bottom edges are in fantastic condition. The spine shows some light rubbing to the edges but is FULLY legible. There is a small amount of light creasing and some light wear to the tips of the corners. The inner gatefold is in fantastic N/MINT condition with only the very lightest amount of rubbing. This album comes with AN ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING SWIRL INNER SLEEVE in fantastic condition. Overall this VERY rare sleeve is in wonderful condition for 35 years of age. EX
LABELS......This is a genuine first pressing. Both labels are in wonderful condition, beautifully white with just ONE very light spindle mark on both sides. MINT/MINT
VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. As for surface marks, when you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see one or two VERY light surface marks. In normal daylight this album is PRISTINE. Both sides play WITHOUT SCRATCHES, CLICKS OR JUMPS. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo seperation. There are ALMOST NO dust crackles and a professional clean could sort out most of that.This is a superb album in the most wonderful of conditions. These HEAVY VINYL origional pressings are second to none. This really is a top copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER .  N/MINT..N/MINT
THIS ALBUM MUST BE SO VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. I HAVE SEEN VERY FEW OF THESE FOR SALE AND ALL OF THEM WERE PRESENTED WITH VERY TATY/WORN SLEEVES . THIS VINYL IS IN 'SUPERB' CONDITION..THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN...
