BEGGAR'S OPERA - PATHFINDER
1st UK Press VERTIGO 6360 073 UK 1972
ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!SUPREME SONGCRAFT!!!THIS WAS THEIR THIRD EFFORT AND AGAIN THEY CAME UP TRUMPS !!!
!!!!A VERY HARD FIND!!!ONE OF THE HARDER SWIRLS TO FIND!!
In all my years this is only the third time I have come across this PROGMONSTER of which only 700 are rumoured to be about. How many would have survived after 40 odd years? Rare ... anyone?? This one is more desirable still as the vinyl does not appear to have been played much at all. Under an intense light there are hardly any lines to be detected. Only the wispiest ones that cannot be seen with the bare eye. A true EX+ vinyl!! This is probably the best copy of this album you are ever likely to find.
Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl . Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.
Vinyl: EX++!! A sensational find!!! Barely played!! I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection.
Huge foldout Poster Sleeve: VG+ to EX. Hardly any creasing. Lovely gimmick sleeve which has stood the tooth of time. Only very minor edge rubbing. The Vertigo sleeves were all matt and prone to wear and discolouring. This one is an absolutely great example!!! Small splits where the folds meet , nearly all will have this, NO writing or doodling. This sleeve is as good as it gets!!!!
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is a great and seriously collectable super album!! You will buy into a piece of heavy prog core history.
This still has the original polylined swirl sleeve. It has a few sellotape repairs on one side.
Labels: NM!!!
Important : International Postage. This will be sent via Signed For service if over GBP40.00, please wait for my invoice in this case.
UK postage. If over £100.00 this will be sent via Special Delivery at extra cost, please wait for my invoice in this case.
In my opinion a top copy which could only be bettered by utilising a time travelling device! As always I have a no quibble money refund option in place in case you are not 100% satisfied!!!
Vinyl: EX+. A phenomenal copy of a phenomenally rare quality album. I have played this all the way through and it sounded simply stunning on my Linn Sondek/ B&W system. A vastly overlooked gem with supreme production! The vinyl looks NM in normal light and only has only light wispy paper removal traces under a bright light. This vinyl has not been played much at all. A superb copy of a fast disappearing jewel, get it while you still can.
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 doNOT 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.
