Cressida - Asylum (Germany) – RARE 1971 1st Pressing –...

Rare original 1971 German first pressing of Cressida's highly regarded second album Asylum, released on the legendary Vertigo Swirl label under catalogue number 6360 025. Cressida were part of the early British progressive-rock scene, and Asylum has become one of the most sought-after albums from their short recording career. The album combines progressive rock with strong melodic passages, organ and piano-led arrangements, and more complex compositions typical of the early Vertigo catalogue. This is the desirable German first pressing, presented in the original gatefold sleeve with the classic Vertigo swirl artwork and label design. ⸻ Sleeve (VG+): The original gatefold sleeve presents well overall. There is some light ringwear visible, a hole punch, and a number of minor marks and areas of age-related discolouration, particularly noticeable inside the gatefold. Despite these signs of age, there are no major structural flaws, and the artwork remains attractive and well presented → VG+ Vinyl (VG+ overall): The record retains a very nice original shine and remains a respectable playing copy throughout. Side A (VG): Shows a number of clearly visible hairlines and superficial marks. These are not feelable, but they are noticeable visually. Side B (VG+): Cleaner than Side A, with fewer visible hairlines and only the occasional light scuff. Taken as a whole, the vinyl is a nice and collectible example, with the wear predominantly superficial rather than deep. Labels: Original Vertigo Swirl label design remains clean and well preserved. ⸻ Details * Germany 1st pressing * Vertigo Swirl label * Catalogue: 6360 025 * Original gatefold sleeve * Original inner sleeve not included
