ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE AND LABEL
DR STRANGELY STRANGE "Heavy Petting"
Vertigo 6360 009 (see below for country of pressing )
An original 1970 Vertigo pressing with the gimmicky fold out jacket.
I have put up a number of similar Vertigos in the past and would ask for the indulgence of regular bidders to rehash below what I stated in those writeps for the benefit of new bidders.
The vinyl has the same label on both sides ie with the spiral at the 12 o'clock position. For several years, we here in Singapore, used to be puzzled over its origins. It is definitely not Singapore as the matrix numbers are machine stamped whereas Singapore ones were scratched in. We used to think it was German in origin with a UK cover. However, towards the later part of 2007 ie November or in December, a UK seller put up a number of such Vertigos and indicated that he found it in their UK warehouse and that they were UK presed but for distribution to Singapore and the Far East. Perhaps in hindsight I should have made a copy of those listings. I am of the view that he is right as the sonics are pretty good. Besides, Singapore issued records in those days did not have such gimmicky covers as their printers did not have such expertise(please see my detailed grading below)
Buyers please note that I try to describe as well as I could. However, some potential bidders have asked for grading and I have tried to do so. In this respect, as both RRPG and Goldmine grading systems seem not in sync, I have drawn up my own which is indicated below after my grading results and I suggest that one reads that too.
UK buyers also please note that I am based in Singapore but the system assumes that as a seller on Ebay,UK should indicate a UK postage cost of 4GBP which may not even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below.
Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item condition as 'used'. I did exercise the option of listing it under Ebay, US & Canada(for a fee of course!). Somehow, these listings are appearing under Ebay US & Canada as 'like new' and I can't seem to change it under that site . It should read as 'used'.
