Description
ANNEXUS QUAM - OSMOSE (ORIGINAL OHR LP)
Mega rare copy of one of the all-time classic Krautrock LPs, Annexus Quam's debut monster Osmose. This is an original pressing on the German OHR label, with Cat No: OMM 56007. OHR were renowned for their innovative packaging designs, and this LP is no exception. Multi-layered fold out-sleeve, which forms a pyramid when all layers are upright (see pictures).

CONDITION
COVER: Overall, the fragile gimmick cover is in EXCELLENT condition. No writing, rips or tears. The only thing holding it back from being mint is a bend on one of the fold-out flaps (see picture). It is noticable on closer inspection, but does not detract from the over-all appearance of the cover in my opinion. There is some very, very mild scuffing around the seams, but otherwise this is about as good as they will come. Spine is in great condition with all writing still clear and legible.
VINYL: The LP itself is in outstanding NEAR MINT condition. Full lustre, with only one or two ultra-light scuffs. Played a handful of times at most. Sounds fantastic, as many of these early OHR pressings do, with only a hint of background noise on the quietest passages of the album. As good as they come!
LABELS: Side one in perfect condition with only one light spindle mark. Side two's label is slightly puffy and lifted, as if it may have been mildly affected by water or something similar. It is still fully affixed and legible, and doesn't really detract too much. But I thought I should mention it all the same. You can see this in the pictures above.
Overall, this is an immaculate copy of one of the holy grails of the Krautrock scene.
If you have any questions, would like additional pictures or information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Happy bidding!
