Item Description
FREEDOM more than a word 1ST PRESS VERTIGO SWIRL A HUGE DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, AS I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT, AS IT IS A FULLY COMPLETE UK 1ST PRESS WITH AMAZING CRYSTAL CLEAR ROCK AUDIO, AND VERY RARE I MUST BE CRAZY, BUT NO RESERVE, AND SILLY LOW START PRICE, SO CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO FORGET ABOUT THIS IS PROG ROCK, HARD BLUES ROCK BAND, FREEDDOM ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL AND A VERY RARE ALBUM.
THIS IS THEIR 5th AND FINAL ALBUM, RELEASED IN 1972 AND THEY WERE ACTIVE IN THE LATE 60 s AND EARLY 70 s, AND TOURED WITH BLACK SABBATH, AND JETHRO TULL, TO NAME JUST TWO, AND COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH.
THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE.
THANK YOU ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1ST PRESS :: 6360 072 1Y//1 V 420 11 6 :: 6360 072 2Y//2 11 6 .
ON THE 1ST PRESS VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 072 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, WITH DIE CUT WINDOW ON THE FRONT, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND SOME TINY SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE SPINE, WHICH IS READABLE, PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AS IT IS NOTHING SERIOUS, THANK YOU , AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP.
THERE ARE SOME SMALL CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGES, AND A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS.
THERE IS A STICKER REMOVAL MARK TOP RIGHT ON THE FRONT, WHICH HAS BEEN COLOURED IN WITH A BLACK PEN PLEASE SEE PHOTO, THANK YOU .
THERE IIS A FAINT BIT OF RING WEAR ON THE BACK, ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ONLY, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, BEAUTIFUL WITH NOTHING TO REPORT.
SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THIS SOLID ORIGINAL :: VG .
VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO AUDIO ISSUES, SO NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, CRACKLE, OR STATIC, AND IN FACT, NOTHING AT ALL ON THE AUDIO, JUST TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE END OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, AND NOTHING ELSE VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, SO ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND SOME VARIOUS SIZED HARMLESS COSMETIC HAIRLINES, THAT JUST GIVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND NO WAY AN AUDIO EFFECT.
SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A SUPERB :: EX /NEAR MINT .
LABELS :: NO ISSUES, JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX .
SWIRL POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, AND WITH A VERY TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND SOME CLEAR CELLO TAPE IN THE MIDDLE ON BOTH SIDE EDGES, AND SOME LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER, ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE :: VG .
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, A VERY RARE, HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PROG, BLUES ROCK CLASSIC, ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL, AND A VERY SAD LOSS, BUT I KNOW IT WILL GO TO A GOOD HOME THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE.
IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE IMPORTANT SHIPPING COSTS INFORMATION BELOWFOR SHIPPING COSTS OVERSEAS, PLEASE LOOK AT MY POSTAGE JUST ABOVE THE PAYMENT OPTIONS, JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE MAIN PHOTO ON THE LISTING, AND CLICK ON...SEE DETAILS...AND THEN TYPE IN YOUR COUNTRY, THANK YOU.
