MAGNA CARTA In Concert (Vertigo 6360 068) Original Swirl UK 1st Pressing MINT!
Original UK first pressing of Magna Carta`s live album "In Concert", released on Vertigo Records (Spring 1972).
Recorded live at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam on November 4th, 1971. "In Concert" also features the assorted guitar talents of Davey Johnstone, who was to join the ranks of Elton John`s band soon after this recording.
"One of the six Magna Carta albums that went gold in Europe, In Concert (…) remains one of the most atmospheric concert recordings of its age. A wonderful venue (...), an appreciative audience, and a genuinely intimate selection of songs result in performances that cannot even be compared to their studio counterparts. They're not better, they're not worse, they're just delightfully different, spun with a spontaneity and warmth that truly place the listener stage center." (Dave Thompson, allmusic.com)
GRADING:
MINT- COVER, with a slight crease toward opening and absolutely minimal wear to bottom edge. Near-perfect. Please see photos for details.
MINT(-) RECORD that looks practically unplayed! Very light single spindle line on one label (side 2).
- The matrix stamps in the run-off grooves read "1Y//1 Dimples", respectively "2Y//1 Zoso". This clearly indicates a very first UK pressing of "In Concert".
- Original Vertigo inner sleeve in MINT(-) condition is also included.
- A highly collectable album with Vertigo "swirl" labelling: Miss out on this one at your own peril!
