ATTENTION MANFRED MANN,1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCKJAZZ FUSION AND VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 1ST PRESSING OF THE RARELY SEEN AND VERY RARE ALBUM BY MANFRED MANN'S CHAPTER THREE: "VOLUME TWO".
ISSUED 46 YEARS AGO IN 1970,THIS ALBUM IS A BRILLIANT FUSION OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK WITH MODERN JAZZ WITH THE INFLUENCES OF JOHN COLTRANE AND MILES DAVIS CLEARLY IN EVIDENCE!
DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER!
ISSUED ON THE 1ST DESIGN LARGE SWIRL VERTIGO LABEL:6360 012 AND HAVING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1Y/2Y MATRIXES. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1970 EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WAS HARDLY ANY ATTENTION OR SALES FOR THIS LP WHICH FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. THERE WAS NO ISSUE IN THE USA FOR THIS LP! THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT ACTUALLY SOLD WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME VERY SLIGHT USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES AND ONLY A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL EXCEPT FOR A SMALL AND ULTRA FAINT SURFACE PATCH WHICH SOUNDS FOR APPROX 40 SECONDS NEAR THE VERY START OF SIDE TWO AND A FEW ISOLATED "POPS" AT THE START OF SIDE ONE BUT THIS IS NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE! THE RECORD HAS NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY UNDER GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE DISC SOUNDS NEARER TO NEAR MINT! THICK VINYL.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE(SWIRL INNERS WERE NOT ALWAYS SUPPLIED) WITH NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A COUPLE OF SURFACE TEARS AT THE BACK AND A SMALLER ONE AT THE FRONT TOP LEFT. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT STAINING AND A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!

SPECIAL DELIVERY AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR POSTAGE ADVISED ON THIS LP. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
