NO RESERVE!!!!!!
FRESH MAGGOTS "SELF-TITLED" VERY RARE UK RCA VICTOR LABEL ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP. FROM 1971.SF 8205. FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE,PRINTED AND MADE IN ENGLAND BY WEST BROTHERS Ltd.
Cat No-SF 8205. Matrix No-AGBS 0582-1E & AGBS 0583-1E.
This is an extremely rare Folk/Rock album by two then 19 year olds from Nuneaton in Warwickshire who were highly praised at the time for their exceptional talent. This is one of the ten PSYCH/FOLK/PROG albums YOU MUST OWN and also one of the most sought after !!! Awesome record full of fuzzy leads and supremely melodic songs. Not to be missed !!!
Side 1. Dole Song - Rosemary hill - Quickie - Everyone's gone to war - And when she laughs - Spring
Side 2. Balloon song - Guzz up - Who's to die - Elizabeth R - Frustration
Sleeve
Front is laminated, with a few creases, rear is purple (indicating 1st pressing - see below) with the usual ringwear, light scuffing to the left side corners & small 2cm tear on righthand opening edge (Hardly visible) cover is graded VG+
I'm told that there were two pressings of this LP - one of 1000 copies (with a purple rear sleeve and sharper cover image) and one of 5000 copies (with a blue rear sleeve and blurrier cover image). This is the rarer purple variant!!!.
Vinyl
Light surface marks caused by being taken out of the sleeve, Side 1 has a number of light marks that do not affect the sound quality, just the odd crackle. Side 2 has also a number of light marks, one in particular running through tracks 1-3 which again gives only a light crackle on these tracks & during the run offs between tracks. I understand that this album has a history of being badly pressed when produced & this is evident when held up to the light with the odd "Bubble" visible.
Labels
Clean, no spindle wear.
OVERALL....A VERY DESIRABLE ALBUM!!!
