STATUS QUO Hello! (1973 German 8-track vinyl LP pressed on the Vertigo 'Swirl' label - this is quite a sight! Not only is the vinyl pressed with different label designs to the domestic UK issue [notably the flying saucer design], but it is also presented in a pre-release sleeve! The commercial design was plain black, with the band name centred at the top and the title centre at the bottom, yet this sleeve features a silhouette of the band against a grey background. However, a statement in the bottom lefthand corner of the sleeve states that the sleeve art has not been finalised and therefore, this sleeve may be returned to obtain the official sleeve at a later date. Both sleeve and vinyl are in fantastic condition - crisp, clean and with a story...what more could you ask for?)
