Music - Yes this is the one that started it all for the `Birmingham Boys` who would have thought they would have gone on to conquer the world from here, this is a great typical early 70`s raw rock album with plenty of `riffing` and `guitar soloing` - `Run of the Mill` has a great 60`s Doors feel to it! The album has all the musicians was playing "live", in studio simultaneously as in concert.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
