GROUNDHOGS
Who Will Save The World? The Mighty Groundhogs!
ORIGINAL UK UNITED ARTISTS (UAS 29237) FIRST PRESSING (March 1972) OF GROUNDHOGS' SUPERB "Who Will Save The World? The Mighty Groundhogs!" - ONE OF THEIR FINEST AND IN GREAT CONDITION DELIVERING SUPERB SOUND (ON MY SYSTEM - AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME!) (see detailed audio assessment below) - GREAT COPY
PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINLY WITH THE FIRST UA BEIGE LABELS
FIRST PRESS MATRIX: UAS 29237 A-1U / UAS 29237 B-1U
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/GL and 2/RO
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL TOP LOADING, MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd." WHICH FOLDS OUT TO A COMIC STRIP ABOUT THE MIGHTY GROUNDHOGS
* INCLUDED WITH THIS COPY ARE A SERIES OF CONTEMPORARY PRESS CLIPPINGS FROM 'SOUNDS' - NICE ORIGINAL ADDITION
SIDE 1: Earth Is Not Room Enough / Wages Of Peace / Body In Mind / Music Is The Food Of Thought
SIDE 2: Bog Roll Blues / Death Of The Sun / Amazing Grace / The Grey Maze
LABELS: The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with moderate spindle wear - EXCELLENT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, glossy sheen with only some light and superficial markings but these have no audio consequence - EXCELLENT
VINYL Audio: Deep, rich and strong audio reproduction with a crystal clear and detailed sound and uncannily reminiscent of Kings Of Leon in places. On careful play at a loud volume it sounds sensational and there are no scratches, no sticks/jumps, barely any surface noise (just a touch between the tracks) and no clicks/pops - it plays beautifully throughout with great clarity, no distortion and no groove-wear and is critically graded EXCELLENT++ for audio - very nice copy indeed
SLEEVE: The fold-out matt sleeve is clean and fresh with no real wear to speak of - the colours are very strong and vibrant - EXCELLENT++

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: EUROPE & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks 416 (GS 6.0.4 (416))
