Elias Hulk - Unchained Original UK pressing on Youngblood SSYB 8. 1970.
In the late 60's, and in my late teens, I developed an appetite for Blues and Prog Rock. Living in my home town of Buxton I was fortunate enough to attend numerous 'All Night' Blues Festivals which featured all the big names of the time - Fleetwood Mac, Taste etc. In 1970 at a regular music club in town I saw Elias Hulk and it was an experience I will never forget! Raw, enthusiastic, tight almost hypnotic. I followed them religiously (I always presumed they were a local band until recently) seeing them numerous times. Not surprisingly they also appeared at the later 'All Night' Buxton Festivals.  At one Gig they announced the LP release. I ordered it from the 'Boots' record department. They had a difficult time getting a copy for me, taking nearly two months. I was very persistent!
Condition. Based on the 'Record Collector's Grading System'. I would describe the sleeve as excellent. Slight wear/creasing and some very light soiling on the white sections. Slight wear to opening corners (see photos). Inner sleeve has creasing and staining. The labels are excellent. The record is in excellent condition both sides being bright and shiny and no visual scratches. On side 2 the track 'Free' has a slight 'blip'. The stylus moves 'one groove' producing a slight vocal shift. The record has always done this and have always presumed it to be in the pressing. Apart from this plays brilliantly.
Please note I am not a dealer but have decided to sell some of my precious collection. I am starting the bidding at the lowest price I would accept rather than using a reserve. 
Collection would be an option.

Record Collector's Grading System.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
