Description

A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS ORANGE LABEL RCA LP BY YOUNG UK FOLK/ROCK DUO FRESH MAGGOTS, THEIR ONE & ONLY LP THAT SOLD VERY POORLY ON ITS RELEASE BACK IN 1971 

NOW RETIRED & WITH TIME TO SPARE, I WILL BE SELLING SEVERAL ROCK, FOLK & SIMILAR RELATED LP'S, COLLECTED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND THROUGHOUT THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS AHEAD, THEY ARE GRADUALLY BEING  LISTED.. INCLUDED ALSO, BUT RELUCTANTLY, IS A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF 1ST PRESS JOHN MAYALL LP'S, & SOME VERY FINE BLUE HORIZON ALBUMS TOO.. A LARGE NUMBER ARE IN EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION- SO WELL WORTH HAVING A LOOK!!

THIS POOR QUALITY & BADLY PRESSED VINYL SUFFERS FROM THE NOT UNUSUAL BLISTERING IN PLACES (SEE PHOTO), COMMON WITH THIS PARTICULAR RCA LP & INEVITABLY, THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE & POPS THROUGHOUT CAUSED BY THESE FACTORY IMPERFECTIONS,  THERE IS ALSO A HALF CM (APPROX) FEELABLE SCRATCH ON SIDE 1, TRACK 4, THAT EMITS A FEW POPS, BUT I DID NOT DETECT ANY SKIPS OR JUMPS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RECORD, HAVING LISTENED TO IT TWICE PRIOR TO LISTING.. IT ALSO DID NOT SPOIL ANY PLEASURE IN HEARING AGAIN DESPITE BEING OF AN INFERIOR QUALITY-POOR QUALITY CONTROL!!..THE VINYL MUST GRADE VERY GOOD+ CONDITION, BUT ACTUALLY LOOKS CLOSER TO EXCELLENT, WITH BOTH ORANGE LABELS ALMOST UNMARKED & DEFINITELY EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION.. A PROFESSIONAL DEEP CLEAN MIGHT ALSO IMPROVE THE PLAYING SURFACES... HAVING MENTIONED ALLTHE ISSUES WITH THIS VERY RARE, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ORIGINAL LP, ANYONE LOOKING FOR PERFECTION, WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER INVESTING IN EITHER THE VARIOUS RE-ISSUES ON VINYL, OR PERHAPS THE CD-THOUGH NEVER THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL!!

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THIS LP GOOGLE 'GARDEN OF DELIGHTS'...

FRONT LAMINATED WEST BROTHERS SLEEVE HAS SOME STORAGE WEAR, LIGHT CREASES & A FEW THUMBNAIL TYPE CREASES ON FRONT & SOME LIGHT BUMPING ON OPENING, MAINLY TO REAR..THERE IS NO EDGE WEAR OR UNWANTED WRITING AND SPINE READABLE....
