A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT

CRESSIDA Asylum (OK here we go with a real monster of a rarity, this is the original 1971 German Vertigo Swirl vinyl LP in a condition that quite frankly is astonishing. The vinyl appears to have hardly graced a turntable with the gatefold sleevein a bright condition which has been stored by a dedicated collector for over thirty five years. You will NEVER find a copy in better condition, so this is your chance to own this Art Rock classic, a blend of McCartney-esque vocals & symphonic

Tracklisting: progressive Rock filled with adventurous instrumental sections)
**See More Info For Further Details**ÞÞCressida's Asylum is a fantastic example of early British symphonic Progressive Rock. It marries catchy Paul McCartney-esque vocals with adventurous instrumental sections. Superb vocal melodies regarded as some of the best from the Prog era coupled with charmingly naive lyrics The instrumental sections have it's origins in the style typical of early '70s Prog Rock with the music driven by a dirty and mellow Hammond organ with classic piano, bass, guitar and drums. At times this sound was augmented with a small orchestra with violins, cellos, trumpets & timpani. The first side of the album has a theme based on it's title with the second side featuring a couple of short filler tracks ending with a triumphant epic. Widely regarded as the best album to come out of that school of early British symphonic Prog. This is beautiful, melancholic and mostly mellow and atmospheric. There is quite simply a British charm that blends it's morose charm with lovely orchestral Mellotron sounds that appear throughout the album. If three words could describe this album then they would graceful, sublime and classic. CONDITION As previously stated the condition of this album is amazing with the large Vertigo Swirl label in an near unused condition with NO spindle marks to indicate play. The vinyl is equally brilliant with a bright shine that is hard to find on a two year old album, never mind a forty year old copy. The sleeve is almost as good with only miniscule marks on the sleeve opening, with no creasing or marks that are usually evident on this issue. The spine is intact with no marks or crushing. It's hefty price tag quite frankly reflects the quality of this issue which would be almost impossible to find again as good as this. This is the ONE. Oh, and did I tell you it was near mint & German Issue!!?? TRACKLISTING 1. Asylum 2. Munich 3. Goodbye Post Office Tower Goodbye 4. Survivor 5. Reprieved 6. Lisa 7. Summer Weekend Of A Lifetime 8. Let Them Come When They Will
CRESSIDA Asylum (2009 issue UK 8-track CD album [originally released in 1971])

Tracklisting: 1. Asylum 2. Munich 3. Goodbye Post Office Tower Goodbye 4. Survivor 5. Reprieved 6. Lisa 7. Summer Weekend Of A Lifetime 8. Let Them Come When They Will
CRESSIDA Cressida (Monster rare & never before stocked 1970 first UK issue 12-track stereo vinyl LP debut, on the large swirl label with 'Vertigo' print & 'A Philips Record Product' lettering below the centre hole, gatefold matt picture sleeve with die-cut 'swirl' poly inner. The vinyl appears in stunning near MINT condition. See 'more info' for further details... VO7)

Tracklisting: 1. To Play Your Little Game 2. Winter Is Coming Again 3. Time For Bed 4. Cressida 5. Home & Where I Long To Be 6. Depression 7. One Of A Group 8. Lights In My Mind 9. The Only Earthman In Town 10. Spring '69 11. Down Down 12. Tomorrow Is A Whole New Day This is a very low mileage example acquired from one fastidious owner of a collection of mouthwatering Rock, Prog & Psych gems, all bought from new on release during his teenage years. To find this record at all is becoming nigh on impossible. This is the first time we've stocked it or even seen one! The gatefold sleeve has a matt finish with all text clearly legible & the artwork unblemished & stunning looking. There are a couple of small horizontal thumbnail tears at the back opening from handling but these are no more than 1" & not seen from the front. The sleeve is otherwise in Excellent condition with no other blemishes. The matrices in the run-outs are machine stamped thus: 847904 1Y//1>420 1 1 3 847904 2Y//1>420 1 1 7 The labels show no spindle marks & are 'as new'. The vinyl itself is clean & appears just as it would have the day of purchase. Truly remarkable! An investment grade item; but don't hold your breath on us finding another one of these any time soon!....
CRESSIDA Cressida (2007 Japanese exclusive limited edition 12-track CD album, originally released on the legendary Vertigo label in 1970, a superb example of early 70s British progressive rock, with symphonic overtones and liberal use of the Mellotron, presented in mini LP-style gatefold card picture sleeve with mini replica 'Vertigo' inner sleeve, fold-out lyric sheet + obi strip with unique 'vinyl look' disc!)
