Description
From the collection of a noted Australian rock’n’roll and entertainment historian comes this great piece of Australian rock history Dragon. Universal Radio. AUSTRALIAN (not NZ as previously described) pressing. 1975. Vertigo. 6360902. As noted on Discogs, the matrixes are:
- Matrix / Runout (SIde A - first MX etched; rest stamped except brackets): MX175309 A (MX175221)- 6360 902-1
- Matrix / Runout (SIde B - first MX etched; rest stamped except brackets): MX1753010 A (MX175222)- 6360 902-2
Bottom left of back cover has: Distributed in Australia by Phonogram Pty Ltd. Back cover has 1974 date, record label has 1975. There is no insert to this LP (not sure if Australian copies had inserts).
Debut album, the first of two recorded and released in New Zealand, prior to the band’s relocation to Australia. Released in June 1974 to overwhelming apathy. Record in Very Good + condition with some hairlines, some pops and crackles but otherwise a clean, clear sound throughout. Cover is somewhere between VG and VG+ ; the thin laminated cover has very noticeable ring wear and some chipping to the spine but otherwise has little damage. Check my other auctions for rarities and extremities across all genres; coming up are a range of hard-to-find Australian rock including 1960s and 70s and AC/DC. PLEASE NOTE: This was previously listed as the original NZ pressing. This one is the AUSTRALIAN pressing. Bottom left of back cover has: Distributed in Australia by Phonogram Pty Ltd.
