AN ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!! IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE TOP 5 PROG ALBUMS EVER MADE!!VINYL IN A UNIQUE EX CONDITION!!!FIRST PRESS PINK SCROLL LABELS!!!ULTRA RARE!!!
In the last few years I have only come across a few copies of this great Van Der Graaf album which in my opinion is the pinnacle of musicianship in the early seventies and the best Van der Graaf album with Robert Fripp helping out on guitar (Emperor). NO skips or jumps. NO clicks, Only very little static mainly between tracks, this is really a stunning heavy vinyl with a beautiful deep gloss. A few hairlines on each side. Don't be mistaken, this is a great quality vinyl, worthy of inclusion into a great prog collection!!! Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.
I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more in-depth observation. Of course there are NO skips, jumps, clicks or sticks. Great but often obtuse existential songcraft and it was not a wonder that Van Der Graaf did not sell to the amount that e.g. Yes and Genesis did. I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!!
Vinyl: VG+ . Nowadays it is nearly impossible to find the earliest Pink Scroll First press Van Der Graaf albums. There are a few hairlines to be observed but on replay none of these can be heard. In fact, the audio is EX, absolutely stunning. NO sticks or jumps. NO crackle, just some static sporadically heard between tracks and at the beginning of each side, easily masked by the fantastic audio which has great stereo channelling, lost in later re-issues. This is a seriously desirable album and very rare indeed!!!
The Pink Scrolls of any Van Der Graaf album are golddust and very hard indeed to still find!!!
Gatefold sleeve: EX+ Gatefold sleeve. Rarely seen like this!!!! NO CREASES, NO WRITING!! Only very minimal edge creases. Deep colours without any of the rubwear usually asssociated with this album, just great!!! A sleeve that is prone to wear, this one is just fantastic with beautiful colours. The inside gatefold picture is fantastic, untouched. The winner of this auction is going to salivate over this sleeve!!!!
The original polylined inner sleeve is still present with some amount of yellowing.
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible, LEAVE ALONE IN THIS STUNNING EX CONDITION!!!
Labels are NM with only minor spindling.
Important :International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 40.00. please wait for my invoice in this case. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.
This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
