ONE OF THE HARDEST ON OHR TO FIND, VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS BARELY PLAYED (POSSIBLY UNPLAYED?) SUPREME CONDITION
+++ THE BEST ORIGINAL I HAVE EVER SEEN+++
ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!STUNNING SONGCRAFT!!!AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT TOPACTS!!!IT IS TRULY PERPLEXING WHY BIRTH CONTROL DID NOT MAKE THE BIG LEAGUE!!!
!!!!AN EXTREMELY HARD FIND!!! As regular visitors to my auctions will know, I hardly ever use the NM grading. Only a couple of times each year a collectable album comes along that merits this highest of grades ( I do not use the Mint grade). !! A few hundred (rumoured to be around 500) were ever pressed of this fantastic prog/psych album. It is hard to understand why this never sold in larger numbers.
In all my years this is only the second time I have come across this PROGMONSTER of which only 500 are rumoured to be about. Rare ... anyone?? This one is more desirable still as the vinyl does not appear to have been played at all. Under an intense light there are NO lines or marks to be seen .
Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl . Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.
The songs on this album are very diverse and of an extreme sophistication. The songcraft is just mesmerising!! For whatever reason this stunning album, without filler and now rightly regarded as a lost classic, sold zilch!!!
It's hard to put into words how stunning this album is. Dark and brooding with unexpected twists round every corner. The adventurous Prog/Kraut collector will salivate over this absolute stunner.
Vinyl: NM!! A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. There are NO jumps NO skips NO sticks. This vinyl has barely been played and more likely UNPLAYED!! There are NO marks and NO hairlines!!! NOT any trace of wear. This is one of those occasions where it can truly be said that it is an opportunity to buy this vinyl in this STUNNING condition that will probably not come along again!!! This is the ultimate MUSEUM copy that will serve as a very healthy investment for the future!! I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection and a mighty investment to boot!!
Gatefold Sleeve: NM!! NO creases. A wonderful upgrade hardly found in this beautifully preserved condition. The inside gatefold is likewise in stunning condition. Beautiful deadstraight edges and a great crisp opening. Just look at the pics. There is NO trace of wear at all. This one is very close to perfect!!! I think it will be a very difficult task to find this album at all any time soon, leave alone in this STUNNING condition!!! The spine is 100%. It is extremely hard to find this album at all. Finding it in this supreme condition is nearly impossible!!!
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Nowadays any early OHR is golddust!!! Get this while you still can, once absorbed in a quality collection this won't come back!!
This is a great and seriously collectable super album!!
Labels: NM!!! Unbelievable!! Still like it was bought all those years ago.
Important : International Postage. This will be sent via Signed For service or Airsure service depending on the destination country. A different courier like UPS or DHL might be used for certain countries. This will be sent fully insured!! Packaging will be thorough and substantial with two additional stiffeners on each side and the disc separated from the sleeve to prevent scything.
UK postage: if over GBP 200.00 this will be sent out via Special Delivery. This will be fully insured for GBP 7.50.
In my opinion an absolute top copy which could only be bettered by utilising a time travelling device! As always I have a no quibble money refund option in place in case you are not 100% satisfied!!!
