NM/ GENTLE GIANT Octopus LP — TOP COPY!
1974 U.K. Vertigo Spaceship Pressing —
This is some of the best sounding vinyl these were likely pressed on. There’s a lot of blogs, reviews, opinions about this specific Vertigo Spaceship pressing / audio quality. Even better than German Vertigo Spaceship pressings. Sound is near, if not audiophile quality. Asking price too high? Best offers are always welcome
Vinyl NM. My highest grade! Only 1 spindle mark. Vinyl is actually mint but I don't use that grade unless sealed. Not a single flaw, which I know is hard to believe. I do not use these grades lightly. Original owner! Bought brand new decades ago & played only twice. Once when new & again before listing. True archive copy of this prog masterpiece
Cover - NM. Pristine condition. The cover looks untouched. Not even the lightest shelf wear to mention. See photos. My highest grade for a record that is not sealed
Packed properly in a brand new record mailer with padding & shipped within 24hrs of payment made
