Description APHRODITE'S CHILD 666 2 LP UK VERTIGO 6673001 SWIRL LABELS Legendary Psych Prog Album and one of the rarest UK Vertigo Swirl Labels - Gatefold Sleeve, with 2 Original Vertigo Swirl Inners added as not all copies of this issue actually came with a Vertigo Swirl bag - This is the megarare 1st UK pressing with matrix 1Y/2Y on both records. (Grading see end of listing for Goldmine Condition Codes) RECORD CONDITION : VISUALLY IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS NEAR MINT / UNDER ELECTRIC LIGHT 3 SHORT HAIRLINES - BOTH RECORDS LIE FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE AND PLAY PERFECTLY. WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FIND A BETTER CONDITION RECORDS, I THINK. EXCELLENT CLEAR PAPER LABELS WITH NO MARKS. SLEEVE CONDITION : GRADED AS A MINIMUM OF EXCELLENT , GIVEN AGE OF SLEEVE IT IS EXCEPTIONAL AND BELIEVE OTHERS WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS NEAR MINT FOR ITS AGE. - APART FROM BIT OF LIGHT RINGWEAR ON FRONT COVER AND EXTREMELY SLIGHT DAMAGE TOP CORNER OF FRONT, AND A SMALL CREASING OF LAMINATE IT REALLY IS EXCELLENT, INSIDE AND SPINE NEAR MINT. SPINE IS CLEAR AND TOTALLY LEGIBLE. IT REALLY IS THE ONE TO COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION AND THE BEST ORIGINAL SWIRL ALBUM I HAVE SEEN IN OVER 20 YEARS.
