Released on the 5th of October 1970, this Lp was to define the 70's hard rock scene... & what an album!! Entering the UK charts at the No. 1 position.
Most of the songs on this album were composed in Bron-Yr-Aur, an 18th-century cottage in Gwynedd, Wales during the mid 70's, after a hectic North American tour.

The Vinyl:
QUALITY FLAT & HEAVY 139g
EX-.
SUPERB QUALITY VINYL....I can only see some very faint marks to the vinyl when angled towards the light.....It has been kept in a plastic sleeve for the majority of it's life, which has created a strange but light blooming to one side of the vinyl-HOWEVER, this is NOT audible in playback...Which is clear & sublime!
I noticed 4 light pops at the start of track 1, side 1...I then noticed a tiny, tiny skip right at the start of track 4, side 1...I had a good look to see if I could see the offending mark, but could not see it...I am thinking this would play over with a slightly heavier stylus than mine...But this is the reason I have knocked her down to £199 rather than £275/300.
I have just had the utter pleasure of listening to her all the way through-LOUD-!! I wasn't dissapointed at all :)
KEEPS THE DEEP, RICH SOUND REPRODUCTION AS IF BORN YESTERDAY ;)

'Do What Thou Wilt' & 'So Mote It Be' etched to the run-out grooves.
