ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST STEREO EDITION OF A CLASSIC AND HARD TO FIND ALBUM BY GROUNDHOGS:"BLACK DIAMOND".

THIS ALBUM HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION,EXPOSURE OR SALES 38 YEARS AGO-FAILING TO CHART IN THE UK AND USA- PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. UNLIKE MOST OF THE ROCK ALBUMS OF THE ERA,THIS ONE HAS SOME GREAT GUITARWORK.

IT'S THE BEST COPY I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS! ISSUED ON THE UNITED ARTISTS LABEL:UAS 29994 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1U/B-1U MATRIXES AND HOUSED IN THE EARLIEST DESIGN FULLY LAMINATED COVER. 

THIS HARD TO FIND ALBUM HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS IN 38 YEARS!

THIS ONE HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH ONLY A FEW FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE.A FEW ISOLATED FAINT "POPS" BUT NO CLICKS,STICKS,SWISHES OR JUMPS! THICK VINYL! VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS  EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BLIND FOLD TEST WOULD EASILY MERIT EXCELLENT++++++ FOR MOST OF THE DISCS SOUND! GREAT USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE! THERE WERE NO MONOS!  

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" INNER SLEEVE. 

  THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING OR STAINING! NO SPINDLE WEAR. PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS TO SEE BOTH LABELS AND BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER.

THE COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY RARE 1970s ROCK ALBUMS!  UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TWICE TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS. BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE.

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND MUSICIANSHIP WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
