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 a very large collection of vinyl and I am selling some more so that I can buy some more!? I will always offer either very nice copies of great music or maybe an album in poorer condition if it is particularly rare. I will be selling vinyl on many different labels including:- CHARISMA/B&C, HARVEST, PEGASUS, RCA NEON, ISLAND, DAWN, ETC ETC...

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 --SPRING--SPRING-- 1971 UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST  PRESSING.

SLEEVE....TRIPLE GATE-FOLD and UN-LAMINATED. It is very flat and square.  This one has survived it's nearly 40 years in well above average condition. condition......Although not  mint it is still in superb condition. The bottom edges are in N/MINT condition with ALMOST NO wear and NO splits. The top edge is also  N/MINT condition with ALMOST NO wear and NO splits. The front is EX condition and suffers with a surface wear patch caused by separation from another part of the sleeve after manufacture, over use of glue was common and some of the original production glue is visible down the right hand side of the sleeve, but this is not bad or overly obvious. ( please see the close-up photo), there is NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKERS  AND NO STAINING. The rear  is in  better EX condition. The inner gate-fold is in SUPERB N/MINT condition. The opening edges  are in lovely N/MINT condition with no tears or feathering. The spine is very square and does NOT suffer from any sun fading and although a little rubbed all of the information is readable.  There is minor wear to the tips of the corners. ( please see the close-up picture).  All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 39 year old sleeve. EX.

This album comes with it's original black lined inner-sleeve in N/MINT condition.

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 a few very light surface hair lines which are 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 separation. The audio reproduction of this pressing is perfect in all frequencies, it is so clear and crisp..top.. quiet run-in grooves!!??There are a small amount of dust crackles that can be heard only in between tracks. This is a superb album in the most wonderful of conditions. These HEAVY VINYL original 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 .  EX+/EX+. very nice! 

ONE OF THE VERY BEST PROGRESSIVE ALBUMS EVER! AND ONE OF MY VERY FAVOURITES.

TOP CRISP AND FULL AUDIO REPRODUCTION. AS FRESH AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.

 THIS ALBUM IS GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. IT IS RARE IN THIS 'SUPERB' CONDITION.
