Description
RARE! PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY...THIS IS A GENUINE 1ST UK PRESS VINYL LP ON VERTIGO RECORDS PURCHASED NEW BY ME WHEN RELEASED 52 YEARS AGO IN 1972 IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS; VERTIGO RECORDS LABELS WITHOUT 'MADE IN ENGLAND' TEXT AND WITH '(P) 1972' TEXT / ON THE LABEL TRACK B1 IS MISPRINTED AS 'FEEL THE PAINT' / GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITHOUT PRINTING CREDIT AND WITH VERTIGO SWIRL POLYLINED INNER / EARLIEST 1ST UK PRESS MATRIXES / ORIGINAL CAT NUMBER / NO BARCODE / ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS.....
THE VINYL IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND GENERALLY IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FEELABLE SCRATCHES BLEMISHES OR SCUFFS JUST SOME UNFEELABLE SURFACE SLEEVE SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. HOWEVER.... SIDE B HAS THE FAIRLY COMMON PHENOMENON OF 'OUTGASSING'. THIS IS WHERE THE POLY LINER OF THE INNER SLEEVE REACTS WITH THE VINYL OVER TIME AND LEAVES AN IMPRESSION IN THE VINYL WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WILL WIPE OFF BUT IT WONT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO STRESS THAT THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON THE SOUND QUALITY OR REPLAY (I HAVE SHOWN THIS IN PHOTOS 6 & 7). THE VINYL LIES FLAT AND IS WARP FREE. THE VERTIGO RECORDS LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SPINDLE LINES. THE VERTIGO INNER IS IN VG+ CONDITION WITH SOME DAMAGE ALONG THE BOTTOM ON ONE SIDE ONLY (SEE PHOTO 9). THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME SHELF AND EDGE WEAR AND NO EDGE SPLITS. THE SPINE IS IN VG+ CONDITION. THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 6360 070 VO PRICE CODE (SLEEVE) AND 6360 070 (LABELS) WITH 1ST UK PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS 6360070 1Y//2 V420 1 1 4 04 AND 6360070 2Y//2 V420 1 1 6 04.
