URIAH HEEP Salisbury (Rare & in demand 1971 UK first press 6-track LP on the large ‘swirl’ Vertigo label, complete with ‘swirl’ inner, gatefold picture sleeve. The sleeve shows just a little light shelfwear with a bit of edge scuffing and the vinyl remains in superb condition with few signs of play. This is one of the hardest Vertigo swirls to find as an original, so be quick, they tend not to hang around for long!).
