Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years. My main interest has been PROGRESSIVE especially the VERTIGO SWIRL/SPIRAL LABEL, reputed to be the most collectable label in the world?

I have finally finished my SWIRL collection of over 160 albums of which most are UK pressings, and now I am going to SELL them ( I must be mad ). I have been quite fussy about the QUALITY, CONDITION and they must be the VERY FIRST PRESSINGS. The latter has been the hardest to decipher and has had me buying and selling many copies of the same album to achieve this,and I almost have with these collectable gems.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

SO HERE WE GO.......

For sale here is --LIGHTHOUSE--THOUGHTS OF MOVIN' ON-- UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING WITH VERY FIRST PRESSING SLEEVE,1972, stereo 6342 011 The 80th of 87 UK pressings on this label. THE REST WILL FOLLOW!

SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD and UN-LAMINATED. This sleeve is in GREAT condition showing very little wear. It is a GENUINE VERY FIRST PRESSING. This is an out standing copy of this sleeve. It is very flat and square. The colours are very strong and vibrant LIKE NEW. The bottom edge is in EX condition with minor wear. The top edge is in EX++condition. The front is EX+with  NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS  AND NO STAINING, just some rubbing to the surface which has NOT worn through the surface(see photo). The rear would be in the same wonderful condition with NO RING WEAR but for the beginnings of very light ringwear which has NOT worn through the surface. The opening edges  are in lovely condition with no tears and no feathering. The spine shows very minor wear and is EX + with fully ledgable text.  The inside gatefold is in fantastic condition and is clean and bright and SUPERB with just a little very light surface rub N/MINT. The only other sign of wear ( and it is  extremely minimal) is to the very very tips of the corners. This album comes with AN ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING BLACK SWIRL INNER SLEEVE ( which is correct for the very first issue of this album) in MINT condition . All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 35 year old sleeve. EX++. YOU WOULD FIND IT VERY HARD TO FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE.

LABELS.....Both  A and B-side labels are N/MINT with only ONE light spindle mark each side.( you have to look very hard to see them) This album has obviously only been played one or two times and with utmost care.

VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see VERY FEW very light surface hair lines which are very light and mostly caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve, there are no nasty marks or scratches. In normal daylight this album is PRISTINE. Both sides play WITHOUT SCRATCHES, CLICKS OR JUMPS. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo seperation. There are a very small amount of dust crackles that can be heard only in the very quiet parts of the music or between trcks, but a professional clean should sort out most of that.This is a superb album in the most wonderful of conditions. These HEAVY VINYL origional pressings are second to none. This really is a top copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER . N/MINT-N/MINT ! "STUNNING" 

THIS IS ONE OF THE RARER ALBUMS ON THIS LABEL AND IS GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. IT IS RARE IN THIS 'SUPERB' CONDITION.

DONT MISS THIS ONE.

THERE CANT BE ANY OTHERS LEFT IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I prefer payment by paypal, UK bidders may use a personal cheque.

GOOD LUCK bidding! Brian.
