Item Description

VERTIGO HOLY GRAIL - UK FIRST PRESSING

Original Vinyl ALBUM:

DR. Z / DOCTOR Z Three Parts To My Soul Vertigo 6360 048 original UK 1971 STEREO pressing swirl label

One of the rarest Vertigo Swirl releases. Complete with fold-out sleeve and Vertigo poly-lined inner sleeve.

Matrix: 6360048 1Y//1 1 1 2 and 6360048 2Y//1 1 1 2

GRADING: VG/VG disc / cover

DESCRIPTION: Full disclosure - record had an edge warp when I found it. It has been professionally de-warped on an Orb Flattener machine and each side plays with light swooshes about one and a half minutes on each side . More noticeable on Side Two which is quieter - Side One is rockier so it s not so apparent. Previously the record jumped but after flattening, it plays fine on my Technics 1210s with tracking weight set to 2.5g with no skips or jumps - I can t guarantee how it will play on other hi-fi systems.

Record has surface scuffs numerous on Side One, but Side Two is cleaner , but no feelable scratches, once you get past the light whooshes about a minute on each side it plays excellent with some light static in quieter passages and occasional light ticks - I d grade at VG - still an enjoyable listen. Labels clean.
Cover generally excellent - has light edge rubbing and light creasing on flaps on each side. Small 1 tear on left hand die-cut, but not too noticeable - this sleeve usually has damage of some sort. Spine properly legible. I ve put photos displaying any issues.

Inner sleeve has some discolouring and wear and torn whole way down right side, and has catalogue number written top right and 0671 date stamp bottom left - so definitely original with this release. Could be fairly easily replaced/upgraded, but including as this is obviously the sleeve which has lived with this record for over 50 years Record will be supplied in brand new white poly-lined inner sleeve.

SO, to summarise - a perfectly acceptable copy of one of the rarest Vertigo releases, with a few obvious issues which I hope I ve clearly listed , but a decent listen and definitely a great addition to any progressive rock collection.

POSTAGE: All items sent fully tracked in proper vinyl mailers - UK: 9.50 / EUROPE: 15 / REST OF WORLD: 25 Records will be well packed - inner sleeve will be removed from outer sleeve. CHECK MY FEEDBACK

HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING - EACH EXTRA RECORD 5 - WILL QUOTE FOR COURIER FOR BIGGER ORDERS

ABOUT ME: I m first and foremost a collector and try to grade strictly. I ve not sold on eBay for a while, but check my 100 feedback - in the last few years I ve sold top rarities on labels like Harvest, Neon, Blue Horizon, Vertigo Swirl, Vertigo Spiral, Elektra, Island, Nepentha etc. along with punk, folk, progressive, classical and everything in between. Thanks for looking
