!!STOP PRESS!!!EARLIEST GENESIS MYTHICAL BEAST!!!
!!!Sensational QUALITY Copy!!!
Progressive delight!!!
Only 649 were ever sold!!
This hardly ever turns up. This is the very first issue of the first Genesis album that was mistakenly put in the religious section of many record shops and thus went unnoticed!!!! Finding one is nearly impossible.
Vinyl: VG+++. Many sellers will grade this EX+. Only a a couple of minute wispiest of hairlines to be detected under an intense light!! ASTONISHING!!!! Only the second I have ever seen, this is megarare. This is the proper heavy early decca vinyl that feels solid in your hands.
I have played this album in FULL> it plays absolutely faultless, NO skips, NO jumps, NO pops and ... NO crackle!!!! The audio is breathtakingly sublime!!!! Only some static between tracks, very minimal!! Any vinyl always has this. This album in this fantastic condition rarely ever comes up for sale and in my opinion it will be IMPOSSIBLE to better this. As such it is the ultimate KEEPER/VAULT copy and a mighty good investment!!! Most of these are now safely tucked away in major prog/psych collections around the world, this is a very rare opportunity to acquire this glorious album.
The sleeve is EX!!! Front laminated. ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL SCUFFING ON THE EDGES!!! There are also NO creases. The lyrics inner is present as well and in EX condition although it is obvious that is has been handled, NO creases though and that is quite exceptional in itself. NO writing, NO tears. This has the original earliest Decca polylined inner sleeve.
Most of these albums are now included in major prog collections around the world!!! Just have a look at the pictures, this is unheard of for this more than 40 year old album!!!
This beautiful glossy slab of vinyl is pure quality!!!!! The vinyl looks fantastic and I played it all the way through, it sounds STUNNING !!!! Re-issues do just not measure up to the depth of the sound. This is just awesome!!! NO jumps, NO pops and NO skips. NO background crackle!!!! This album is playgraded on a Linn Sondek/ Rotel/ B&W set-up. The audio is simply MINDBLOWING!!!!
Getting hold of these in any condition will be a very tall task. Finding it like this in great condition so much harder even.
In my opinion it will be extremely hard to find an equally great copy as this one!!!!THIS IS A REAL ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. ONCE IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE!!
Labels EX+. A few spindle marks only. No writing!!
Important, international postage will be by Signed For service.
I offer a full no quibble refund policy if not entirely satisfied.
Payment via PayPal preferred, other means of payment considered.
