FREEDOM UK Vertigo TEST PRESSING Spiral 1st PRESS "More Than A Word" LP N.Mint
SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS & MEMORABILIA
Here is an incredible Spiral Vertigo era rarity--a UK 1st pressing TEST PRESSING of Freedom's FREEDOM IS MORE THAN A WORD LP, in NM/EX to VG++ condition. The UK pressing disc has the following matrix numbers: Side One: 6360072 1 v //2 v 420 1 11 and Side Two: 6360072 2 v//2v 420 111 (the small v's are actually inverted triangles.)The disc is extremely clean with only the lightest sleeve type marks and plays beautifully--really sounds mint other than a few seconds of very light surface noise at the very beginning of side two.
The Side One label has "Derek" written on it in ballpoint pen and Side Two has "B Side." The die cut gatefold cover is in beautiful Near Mint condition. The inner sleeve is the UK original with the code 1172 45 code in the bottom right corner (dating it to 1972, when the album was released.) An extremely rare Vertigo collectible.

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.
US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.75% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.
International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.
