HERE WE HAVE FOR AUCTION FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION A GENUINE RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER EARLIEST UK PRESSING OF THE FABULOUS URIAH HEEP ALBUM SALISBURY.

THESE ORIGINAL EARLY PRESSINGS ARE VERY SOUGHT AFTER AND DON'T COME UP FOR AUCTION VERY OFTEN, AND AS SUCH THEY ARE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

I ACTUALLY  PURCHASED THIS ALBUM IN THE EARLY 80's, I HAVE PLAYED THIS AND ENJOYED IT AND HAVE LOOKED AFTER IT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE. BUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR ME TO START THINNING OUT MY COLLECTION OF RARE ORIGINALS, AND LET ANOTHER COLLECTOR ENJOY THESE VERY RARE ORIGINAL VINYL ALBUMS.

AN ESSENTIAL RELEASE FOR ANY URIAH HEEP / SWIRL LABEL COLLECTOR

THE RECORD DETAILS ARE -

URAIH HEEP

SALISBURY

THIS IS A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESSING.

CAT # 6360028

MATRIX# 6360028 1Y1 420 1  /  6360028 2Y1  1

THE RECORD IS RELEASED BY VERTIGO AND IS THE RARE ORIGINAL 1st PRESSING, IT HAS THE LARGE SWIRL LABEL ON THE B SIDE WITH THE VERTIGO NAME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL UNDERNEATH THE SPINDLE HOLE (LATER PRESSES HAVE A SMALL SWIRL AND THE VERTIGO NAME ABOVE THE SPINDLE HOLE).

EARLIEST PRESSING MATRIX NUMBERS OF 1y1 420 1  3  / 2y1 1  5.

THE VINYL IS IN VGC, VERY CLEAN WITH A LOVELY ORIGINAL SHINE, THERE ARE A FEW  LIGHT MARKS AND OVERALL IT IS A GREAT PIECE OF ORIGINAL EARLY VINYL. THE RECORD PLAYS VERY WELL, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO JUMPS OR STICKS. THERE ARE A FEW POPS AND CLICKS BUT OVERALL IT PLAYS GREAT, AND LOOKS VERY GOOD - THIS ALBUM IS OVER 40 YEARS OLD !! IN MY OPINION THIS PLAYS VERY GOOD AND EVEN THOUGH THE VINYL IS NICE AND CLEAN I WOULD ALWAYS SUGGEST HAVING IT PROFESSIONAL CLEANED TO IMPROVE THE SOUND EVEN FURTHER.

THE LABELS ARE IN FABULOUS CONDITION. THE A SIDE SOLID SWIRL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, THERE IS NO WRITING OR STICKERS. THERE ARE NO CATCHES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AND SPINDLE MARKS ARE ONLY NOTICABLE WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT. A FINE EXAMPLE. THE B SIDE HAS THE VERY SOUGHT AFTER LARGE SWIRL WITH THE VERTIGO NAME UNDER THE SPINDLE HOLE. AGAIN THIS LABEL IS IN FABULOUS CONDITION WITH NO WRITING OR STICKERS AT ALL. SPINDLE MARKS ARE EVIDENT WHEN HELD TO LIGHT. A FINE EXAMPLE OF THESE GREAT EARLY PRESSING LABELS.

THE VINYL IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE, THERE ARE NO TEARS OR RIPS BUT THERE IS SOME DISCOLOURING, THIS IS QUITE NORMAL FOR THESE INNER SLEEVES - PERSONALLY I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN INNER THAT WASN'T DISCOLOURED AT ALL.

THIS ALL COMES HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL VERTIGO GATEFOLD UNLAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE WITH THE SWIRL LOGO IN BLUE TO THE FRONT. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE HAS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER TOGETHER WITH THE VO PRICE CODE BOX IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. THE TRACKLISTING WITH TIMES IS PRINTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION, THERE IS NO WRITING OR STICKERS AT ALL, THE RECORD HAS BEEN STORED CAREFULLY, AND AS SUCH THE CONDITION IS LOVELY. THERE IS VERY MINIMAL WEAR TO THE SPINE WITH VERY LIGHT FEATHERING AT THE SPINE CORNERS. ALL THE EDGES ARE IN SOLID CONDITION WITH NO WEAR AT ALL, THIS REALLY DOES NOT LOOK IT'S 41 YEARS !!

IN MY OPINION THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER EARLIEST PRESSING RELEASE. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO COME BY, AND I EXPECT LOTS OF INTEREST IN THIS GREAT 1st PRESSING.
