Formula 3 Sognando

NUMERO UNO ZSLN 55152

1972 Vinyl ---Rare First Press on Numero Uno  Italy

I believe it says 1A on Dead wax on Lato 1, and Lato 2, also has a Triangle or Delta symbol plus on both sides and a "P" on one side, in addition to the letter/numbers present on the labels.

Truly historic, collectible and important record.  Vinyl like this is as much an investment as it is an enjoyment. 

I will be listing several Rare Import Prog / Progressive Rock records from my personal collection.   All are NM to VG++ original press releases.  From non-smoking home, these have always been sleeved in plastic.   Including Van der graaf de de lind, genesis, acqua le orme, jonesy etc. 

See web for info regarding the significance of this record, its rarity and lasting impact.  Plus, a true pleasure to listen to, especially on vinyl.

Original recording, No cut out no punch out-   The original issue. 

Grading- I grade conservatively and only give mint and mint- to new records.

Cover:

The cover is VG+/VG, This is a delicate gatefold, top loading cover that damages easily.  Spine in excellent condition and is smooth and not worn.  No seam splits.  VG due to small tear 1 to 3 cm between the r and m on the backside of the cover. 3 of 4 corners in good condition bottom lower right corner shows some light creasing.  Very light visible ring-wear on the back cover, lighter still ring wear and rubbing of album in the middle of the front cover near the right edge.  Back cover also shows some scuffing and ridges on the left middle of the back cover.  See pics for condition. Original inner sleeve is NM.  For this vintage the cover is in very good, but not perfect condition.  Record has not been opened or handled much.   Cover colors are not faded, black is black and colors are strong.  . 

Vinyl:

NM- With little to no spindle wear, tight spindle no audible scratches or pops.  No visible scratches under bright light. Very glossy, flat and round.   In 9/10 condition.  No scratches I could feel, see or hear.  Tight spindle.  Top Copy...   

Condition is subjective, please spend a moment or two to zoom in and decide for yourself if this is a record you wish to invest in.  To truly enjoy this record get an original copy, original mix and in a condition that does not compromise the sonics and provides full range sound.  Get a copy, like this, that you can actually listen to at MAXIMUM VOLUME.

None of my records have been machine cleaned, I prefer not to do so.  All may benefit from such a clean, I just prefer to use light brushing to clean my LP's. 

Not a re-issue, Original And Vintage recording. 

See feedback, I have not had a record returned EVER. 

If you have questions----please ask before bidding or buying.
