HARD MEAT

hard meat

THIS IS THEIR VERY RARE DEBUT ALBUM !!

I BOUGHT THIS LP SOME TIME AGO AS WHEN I HEARD IT, I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT !!!

Hard Meat was a British progressive rock group active between 1969 and 1971. They made two albums

 during this time, neither album saw chart success, and the group disbanded shortly afterwards. These are

 up there with the best prog bands, and just had bad luck at the time, so due to their bad luck, this album

 is very rare and highly collectable. check out "Space between", and "Run shaker life", and you will see how

 brilliant their music is !!!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL RARE 1970 UK 1ST PRESS :: A- 1  *T  ::  B- 2  *T .

ON THE ORANGE WARNER BROS  LABEL :: WS.1852 .

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL GATEFOLD PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd, PATENTS PENDING :: SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE ARE SOLID. THE SPINE HAS SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR :: THE FRONT HAS SOME PAPER LOSS TOP RIGHT CORNER AND HAS BEEN BLACKED IN ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: THE BACK HAS SOME BITS OF BITS OF VERY FAINT RUB AROUND THE EDGES ( NOTHING MUCH, PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO ) :: INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS, AND WITH NO OTHER ISSUES :: VG+ .

VINYL :: THIS HEAVYWEIGHT PLAYS VERY NICE WITH NO AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS ANYWHERE !!! I WILL DO THE AUDIO FIRST........AND ALL I HEARD WAS TWO SOFT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1. THERE ARE A FEW SOFT BACKGROUND TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 2 AND THREE SOFT BACKGROUND TICKS AFTER THE START :: WHILE ON SIDE 2 THERE ARE FEW BACK GROUND SOFT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1, AND FIVE SOFT TICKS IN THE QUIETER SECTION A BIT FURTHER ON. THE REST OF THE TRACKS PLAY FINE WITH NO ISSUES !!! THIS DOES SOUND A LOT, BUT IT IS NOT MUCH, AND THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS SUPERB ALBUM. NOW THE VISUAL WILL SOUND BAD, BUT THIS IS WHY I DID THE AUDIO FIRST. WELL VISUALLY THERE ARE LOTS OF COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND QUITE A FEW COSMETIC HAIRLINES. THERE ARE ALSO SOME HEAVIER LOOKING MARKS AND ONE IS SLIGHTLY FEELABLE, BUT THESE ONLY CAUSE SOME SOFT TICKS ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2 AS MENTIONED ABOVE. ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: THIS REALLY PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED, EVEN THOUGH THE VINYL WOULD NOT WIN A BEAUTY PRIZE. THIS IS A HEAVYWEIGHT PRESSED VINYL AND THAT IS WHY IT STILL PLAYS SO WELL !!! WELL THE AUDIO GRADE I WILL HAVE TO GIVE AS :: VG+/EX- . TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE !!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOITED !!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX . 

 INNER ::  NO WRITING OR SPLITS, JUST SOME SURFACE CREASING :: VG .

THIS IS FANTASTIC RARE ALBUM, AND THEY DO NOT TURN UP VERY OFTEN. THE AUDIO HAS NO REAL AUDIO PROBLEMS AND IS VERY ENJOYABLE. VISUALLY NOT THE BEST, BUT IT STILL PLAYS NICE. ORIGINAL GATEFOLD WHICH IS VERY PRESENTABLE AND SOLID. SO ONE RARE ALBUM NOT TO MISS. IF IT PLAYED RUBBISH, EVEN THOUGH IT IS RARE, IT WOULD NOT BE LISTED ON MY AUCTIONS !!! DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK OUT THOSE TWO TRACKS !!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
