GENTLE GIANT Octopus VERTIGO SWIRL 1972 1st UK PRESS

Label:- Vertigo Catalogue:- 6360 080 Here we have an absolute top condition 1972 Vertigo 'swirl' 1st UK pressing in the original unlaminated gatefold sleeve and swirl inner. One of the best prog LP's from this era. Condition Vinyl:- NEAR MINT (Top condition, possible only about one play plus my full test play. This test play produced one of the best audio playbacks I have ever heard. Superb detail, crisp and dynamic. Fully machine cleaned before this auction to further enhance the sound quality. No marks or blemishes. Looks like a new record.) Sleeve:- EX to EX+ (Only the faintest hint of wear on the front and back. This is about the best example of this sleeve I have seen. The swirl inner is also in excellent condition.) Labels:- NEAR MINT (One faint spindle mark. That's it.) This record seldom comes up for sale and even less in this TOP condition. Don't miss your chance.

I always reduce postage on multiple items. Check out my other rare vinyls!

GRADING ABBREV DESCRIPTION MINT M The record is as new. The cover and any inserts should be in perfect condition.
Many Dealers do not use this classification as A record is unlikely to arrive through the post in truly mint condition. EXCELLENT
PLUS EX+ The record is near-mint, there is no damage or visible surface marking. Under Bright Light you may see fine lines on the record, caused by rubbing on the paper sleeve. Reserve this grade for records where you have difficulty spotting anything wrong.
The Cover and inserts are undamaged. EXCELLENT EX The record may show some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks or fingerprints but there is no appreciable lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. EXCELLENT
MINUS EX- There may be fairly visible surface markings under bright light but the sound quality of the record is not adversely affected.
The Cover and inserts may have noticeable light creasing or "foxing" due to dampness but they are all present and intact. VERY GOOD VG The record has obviously been played a lot, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite surface marks and some light scratches. Also Use this grading where the record has suffered perhaps one more visible scratch, but is otherwise in EX or better condition.
The cover may be creased a little and/or frayed at the opening. You should itemize any more serious damage such as tears.
