RAGGAMUFFINS FOOL

  VERTIGO

1st UK PRESS 1972

6360 077

Yes!   ...This is the impossible to find UK press. One of the harder to find swirls and I have only come across this once before. Because of its very vulnerable matt sleeve with brown as its main colour most have not worn very well. This copy, however, has defied the ravages of time and is well preserved in EX condition. It has a supreme vinyl to match without any hairlines at all!!! A package nothing short of sensational and suitable as an investment for the future.

Still retains its original swirl inner sleeve which is in EX condition WITHOUT any splits or other damage. It is as good as it gets!!

Machined matrices: 1Y//2 and 2Y//2

This was Jackson Heights second album on Vertigo and their third overall. Raggamuffins was a great improvement on their first Vertigo offering with quality prog tunes with sometimes folky overtones. It sold zilch and thus the album has become a much coveted collectable which doesn't come around in this kind of splendid condition very often. Although not in the premier league of Vertigo rarity, like Linda Hoyle, Catapilla or Ben, it is definitely in the subtop with just a couple of thousand pressed at the time. How many would have survived??

I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH JAZZ  VINYL LP'S RARITY FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILIAR ITEMS !! THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE TEN HARDEST VERTIGO ALBUMS TO FIND.

Vinyl: EX+.  A beautiful well looked after vinyl in just stunning condition with a beautiful just pressed appearance. Probably the best copy one can ever find of this very rare album. I have played it in full on my high end system and the audio is totally flawless without even any background static. No hairlines are visible even under a strong light. Just the usual sleeve retraction traces.  A total joy to listen to and I am finding it hard to part with this smashing album. This album is extremely scarce in any condition at all, in this condition ... probably one of the last ones out there!

Sleeve: EX. A lovely embossed single sleeve to match the splendid vinyl .It has just one small crease in  the bottom corner. All edges are sharp and unworn. The opening is super crisp. A 100% spine as well. Easily the best copy you will ever find of this album.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
