A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
| CATAPILLA Catapilla (Very Rare 1971 UK 4-track vinyl LP on
the Vertigo 'swirl' label, a much sought after and
groundbreaking early fusion of jazz and progressive rock,
complete with 'Swirl' poly-lined company inner, gatefold
picture sleeve) See 'More Info' for further details of this
rare gem ...
Tracklisting: An interesting and essential blend of progressive Jazz Rock that managed to avoid the symphonic sounds of their contemporaries. this is the first of just two album releases by the band, both of which are now quite rightly very collectable indeed.
Condition
The sleeve shows a degree of shelfwear & edge scuffing & while far from being the worst we've ever seen, it's not the best either. Not being laminated, this sleeve was prone to all sorts of wear, and this one is typical.
That being said, nothing is to excess and the sleeve retains its 'vintage' feel and, although far from perfect, it remains very acceptable.
The massive redemption for this copy is that the vinyl remains in spectacular condition with just the one groove either side that it was born with. There are no obvious surface scuffs of any kind evident and very little sign of play at all. I doubt very much that you could find better vinyl than this.
A nice copy of one of the most sought after 'swirl' releases with the usual condition sleeve but far above average vinyl.

just the lightest spine creasing and the vinyl is immaculate. A gem!

vinyl LP on the Vertigo 'swirl' label, a much sought after and

Tracklisting: An interesting and essential blend of progressive Jazz Rock that managed to avoid the symphonic sounds of their contemporaries. this is the first of just two album releases by the band, both of which are now quite rightly very collectable indeed.
Condition
The sleeve looks identical to the UK release, and non-laminated was prone to all sorts of wear, and this one is typical. This example is in a stunning condition, with some edge & corner scuffing, a little light ringwear on the back and one small spot of paper loss, easily reaching an Excellent grade.
For something coming from South Africa, the vinyl remains in a spectacular condition. There are just a couple of light surface hairline which are cosmetic but that is all, and very little sign of play. I doubt very much that you could find better vinyl than this.
A nice copy of one of the most sought after 'swirl' releases, and first South African pressing we have seen.
