Description

AUDIENCE

AUDIENCE

POLYDOR 583065 (UK) 1969

 

 

the very rare (almost immediately withdrawn) first Audience LP including delightfully raw and formative versions of some of the memorable songs soon to resurface on their first two Charisma LPs Friend's Friend's Friend and The House On The Hill

 

 

the ultimate in difficult UK prog rarities, this one is next to impossible to find with a nice cover, due to the extremely fragile nature of its design and manufacture - the all black sleeve has a most unusual 'furry' texture - this incredible example is virtually as new!

 

 

lovely LP with some of the finest reed and woodwind work of the progressive era by Keith Gemmell, unique vocals and 'gut'-stringed acoustic guitar from Howard Werth - also the highly distinctive bass guitar and drums of Trevor Williams and Tony Connor

labels

mint

never on a turntable - there are NO spindle marks whatsoever - even the original 'slithers' of plastic, from when the discs are first pressed, remain undisturbed, after more than 36 years, at the perimeter of the side two spindle hole - perfect and as new

 

cover

very near mint

fine, unmarked 'furry' matt finish to the front and rear 'blacklite' sleeve - nice, sharp, square corners with nothing in the way of bumps - absolutely razor-sharp opening edges (see photo) - tight seams with NO shelf wear - great flat undamaged spine - all lettering crystal-clear, bright and sharp - the cover is exceptional and unbelievable for such a fragile all-black unlaminated design - as new condition - there is no circular wear to the front or rear - a super example of this rare gem - try looking at this album cover under 'black' light - amazing!

 

EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION

IN MINT UNPLAYED AS NEW SHAPE LIKE THIS, IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!
