Writing on the Wall - The Power of the Picts
Middle Earth MDLS 303
UK 1969
Ultra rare UK original of this brilliant prog / psych album. Nice copy, most copies sound awful due to the ultra cheap vinyl used by the Middle Earth label, this one plays great, better than most. Included in this auction is the chance to hear the whole album to playgrade the album yourselves. This is recorded directly from the album shown in this auction exactly as it plays on my deck, there is no audio 'touching up'. Just click play on the ecommerce player above.
Fragile unlaminated single sleeve shows the usual wear - nothing drastic at all - easily VG. Check out the pictures.
Vinyl shows some minor scuff / light marks visible under bright light, I'd say visibly close to EX. Playback is superb for a Middle Earth pressing with minor surface noise, odd light tick, but don't take my word for it, click the player above to listen to the whole album to make up your own mind on the grading.
Labels are free from any unwanted pen marks, names etc.
Overall its a great copy of an album that's getting harder and harder to find! Postage costs are below and please read all terms before bidding!
About Me
I've been a collector of psych/prog folk records for the past 20 years or so but feel I've come to a stage in my life when its time to sell up and move on. I hope to grade the albums as I would hope to find them. Over the next few months I will be listing some very desirable albums.

Gradings, returns etc - Vinyl is visually graded as carefully as possible although, as grading is subjectional, I must point out that these are my own personal opinions of the grading, which, I personally, would be happy with as a buyer (and I've been a collector for the past 20 years or so). Therefore, all gradings are approximate. If I've played the album, I'll describe it as best I can in the listing. If you are unhappy with the album and decide you simply cannot keep it, I will offer a full refund when the buyer has returned the item at their cost and the item is recieved in the condition that it left here. No partial refunds will be given.
