Description

This is a listing for one of the rarest Harvest LPs these days - the original pressing of the band's second album, "Horizons", SHVL 769 A-1/B-2
This group turned out to be significantly underappreciated among listeners of its time, thereby there were not as many copies printed of the album, which resulted in a rather few survivors in a more or less reasonable condition up to now. This copy, despite showing some insignificant sign of use in the usual daylight, has been professionally cleaned with steam on a record cleaning unit - the visual condition could be described as VG+ according to Record Collector magazine grading system, with vinyl retaining its original gloss. Yet, under the strong light lots of hairlines will be seen, HOWEVER, after having been cleaned, this seems to produce a strong EX sound, with a rather expected slight background noise, which in fact doesn't interfere with foreground - could be felt in especially quiet places, yet, this isn't the album where one would seek those in. The cover corresponds to VG+ as well, with some shelf wear on both top and bottom corners (reasonably acceptable, considering the fact there's nothing quite close to being severe and the age of 46 years). The LP includes the original EMI inner with albums matrix, which is in EX condition, with the antistatic film still remaining inside. I'd personally dare to admit this album is very close to what is known as masterpiece, despite a rather narrow segment to who it is familiar enough.
