As some of my regular buyers will already know - I have had some 'technical' issues recently, causing me to stop listing for 1 week (first time since 2002).  However, permanent measures have been taken to stop a repeat of these issues, and I am back with a HUGE list of AWESOME items!  These will all be ending on Sunday 3rd of March, so keep an eye on my listings from now until then - because there will truly be some INCREDIBLE items added non stop during the week (all ending on that date!).  Good luck if you decide to bid - and take a look at this AMAZING item below:-

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Patto called "Hold Your Fire" and is an ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE VERTIGO LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1971 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS THERE IS NO RIPS & NO TEARS TO THE 'FOLD-OUT' FRONT COVER (MOST DO!), AND THE RECORD IS IN STUNNING CONDITION, AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!

EVEN RARER STILL - THIS LP WAS CLEARLY AN ULTRA RARE 'EXPORT' 1ST PRESSING, AS THERE IS A TECHNICOLOUR IMPORT STICKER ON ONE OF THE INSIDE FLAPS!!!!  OF COURSE, IF THIS ISN'T DESIRABLE TO THE WINNING BIDDER - IT COULD BE EASILY REMOVED IN A SECOND (THOUGH PERSONALLY I THINK THIS MAKES THIS LP EVEN MORE DESIRABLE)!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION (WITH A STUNNING RECORD!) - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!   JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS VERTIGO 'SPIRAL' LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS 'VERTIGO' INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'FOLD-OUT' COVER (WITH PERFECTLY WORKING 'FOLD-OUT' FLAPS!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Vertigo UK 1st Pressing from 1971 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is 6360 032 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo 'Spiral' label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade FULL Excellent if not Excellent+!!!!  SUPERB RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Vertigo' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition - and still FULLY 'poly-lined'!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Fold-Out' Cover (with PERFECTLY working opening 'Fold-Out Flaps'!) is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO sticker residue marks, SUPERB white looking front flaps (with NO grubbyness AT ALL!), only VERY slight spinal wear (NO splits, and incredibly the side words are still PERFECT!), NO edge wear (apart from some almost INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces!), NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!) apart from 2 or 3 to the lowest flap, NO grubbyness, NO rubbing AT ALL to the cover front, only VERY slight rubbing to the cover back, NO yellowing, a TINY 'touched in' mark to the EXTREME bottom right corner on the cover back, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The front flaps still work PERFECTLY and are 100% solidly attached to the cover - with NO rips, NO tears, NO nasty heavy wear, and NO repairs either!!!!  The opening edges are nice and straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  And even the inside of the flaps are still SUPERBLY black with barely ANY rubbing AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better - and is very VERY hard indeed to find one like this now!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
