HARMONIUM, LES CINQ SAISONS, FRENCH GAMMA VINYL LP, 1980s REISSUE, PROG ROCK, EX

Harmonium – Les Cinq Saisons (12” LP)
Harmonium was a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1972 in Montreal. It became one of the most well-known music bands in French Canada in the 1970s. This, their second album, "Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison", better known as "Les Cinq Saisons", was an immediate success. This concept album includes five songs, each representing a season, with the last song being a long instrumental introducing a fifth imaginary season. For this album, the band invited two guests to play on the sessions: Judi Richards, who handles the vocalizations on the instrumental "Histoires sans paroles" and Marie Bernard performing the theremin-like sounds of the Martenot waves on "En pleine face".
 Side One: Vert; Dixie; Depuis L'Automne.

Side Two: En Pleine Face; Histoires Sans Paroles.
The album is on Gamma Records, 8.517. Matrix side one: ∴   8517 A (etched). Matrix side two: ∴   SFPP 8517 B X (etched).
Originally released in 1975, this is a 1980s reissue. French pressing. Stereo.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no 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.  1723 (GS 9.9.3 (1723))
