CATAPILLA Changes UK VERTIGO 1st PRESS! Top Condition!

Catapilla - Changes
LP UK 1972
Vertigo 6360 074

Condition (record/cover): EX+/EX+

Up for sale is the original Vertigo UK 1st pressing from 1972 of Catapilla's second LP called Changes. Housed in a spectacular die-cut gatefold cover! (See my pictures.) This LP is hopelessly rare and very very hard to find, easily one of the rarest LPs on the Vertigo Swirl label. So here's your chance to buy this massively rare and very sought after Catapilla LP, in this stunning condition.

The record is in brilliant condition, shining like it was just pressed. With just some very very light sleeve removal marks, only visible under a strong light. I have played it and it sounds fantastic! There is a little crackle during the quiet intro on the first song on side A. The rest of the LP sounds fantastic, strong and clear audio! Hardly any crackle at all, amazing sound! The LP is housed in the original vertigo inner sleeve, also in great condition.

The unlaminated die-cut gatefold cover is in great condition and the insect's head fully intact. Just some very light corner and edge wear. Please look at the pictures and see for yourself.

More info about the LP:
One of the most mysterious of all the innovative acts signed by progressive Vertigo label in the early Seventies was jazz-rock group Catapilla. ‘Changes’ was their second album, first released in 1972. It features the powerful vocals of Anna Meek that have been variously described by critics as ‘elegant’ and even ‘witch-like’. Her voice is complemented on a series of extended performances by the saxophone playing of leader Robert Calvert (who is not to be confused with the singer and poet Robert Calvert of Hawkwind fame). Catapilla’s style veers between avant-garde jazz-fusion and experimental acid rock and there is plenty of room for experimentation on tracks like ‘Reflections’ and ‘Thank Christ For George’. Keyboard player Ralph Rawlinson supports Robert and Anna, and a strong rhythm section includes Bryan Hanson (drums) and Carl Wassard (bass). Provocative and evocative, the music of Catapilla has legs and will creep up on you!

Please contact me for shipping costs. I carefully pack using professional mailers and stiffeners and remove the record from the sleeve. Payment with Paypal. Mail: vinylstockholm@gmail.com

I use Record collectors grading system:

Mint:
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed should be mint.

Excellent:
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and or/ creasing.

Very Good:
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioation in sound quality, despite noticeably surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good:
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deterioreated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
