Comus' first album contains an imaginative if elusive brand of experimental folk-rock, with a tense and sometimes distressed vibe. Although there are elements of traditional British folk music, there's an edginess to the songwriting and arrangements that would be entirely alien in a Fairport Convention or Pentangle disc. At times, this straddles the border between folk-rock and the kind of songs you'd expect to be sung at a witches' brew fest, the haunting supernatural atmosphere enhanced by bursts of what sound like a theramin-like violin, hand drums, flute, oboe, ghostly female backup vocals, and detours into almost tribal rhythms.
Grading Scale:
Near Mint (NM or M-): No obvious signs of wear. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects.
Excellent (EX): Very close to NM, extremely minor wear.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner.
Very Good (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, groove wear will start to be noticeable, and light scratches that affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+): A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
