MQ/LP 38-BRITISH RESSING WITH THICK VINYL! CLEAN LABELS!
NOT ONLY THAT,IT'S IN SOLID,GUTSY MONO UNLIKE MOST COMMERCIAL ALBUMS MADE IN 1971,THE FILM/TV/RADIO INDUSTRY STILL REQUIRING MONO AS THE STANDARD MIX UNTIL A FEW YEARS LATER!
NO STEREO'S WERE MADE OF THIS LP!
IT HAS BECOME A BIT OF A CULT FAVOURITE AMONGST COLLECTORS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC-AT THE TOP OF THE WANTS LISTS FOR MANY,RARELY TURNING UP ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2012!
HERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
DJs MIGHT WELL BE ABLE TO FIND"BREAKS","SAMPLES"OR THEME MUSIC WITH ALL TRACKS CLEARLY TIMED WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND INDIVIDUALLY BANDED!
AS FAR AS I KNOW,THE TRACKS HAVE NEVER BEEN ISSUED COMMERCIALLY AND THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED-GLEAMING SURFACES,NO SURFACE MARKS AND I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE-UPGRADER STANDARD!
NEAR MINT CONDITION!
THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS AND IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN WITH A WHITENESS AND BRIGHTNESS THAT SHOWS IT HAS BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT FOR AROUND 40 YEARS! FANTASTIC CONDITION!
LOOK AT THE AMAZING COVER DESIGN!
PRESSED IN A TINY QUANTITY OF PROBABLY LESS THAN 1000 COPIES,MAYBE AS FEW AS 500!
THE MAJORITY ENDED UP IN THE LIBRARIES OF RADIO AND TV STUDIOS AND FILM COMPANIES!
IN MORE RECENT TIMES,HARDLY ANY COPIES HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY SUCH SOURCES,WHAT WITH THE SWITCH TO CD AND DOWNLOADING.
MOST COPIES ARE NOW IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS AND THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!
A REALISTIC LOW £20 STARTING PRICE!
