Hawkwind – Quark Strangeness And Charm – Progressive-Space Rock Vinyl LP - Promo

$

23

This British progressive rock band is credited with being one of the earliest, perhaps the first, space rock band.  They are clearly lovers of science fiction with those themes in most of their lyrics as well as other-worldly sounds coming from their performances.  They have been performing and recording since 1970, often with different lineups, but consistently led by the brilliance of singer, songwriter, and guitarist Dave Brock.  This is their eighth album and it is a stunning performance.  It is a great introduction to the group as the music is very accessible when compared to their earlier work.  The album was released on Sire in 1977, number SRK 6047.  This is the original release of the album. There is a promo stamp on the front of the cover. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches and paper scuffs that barely impact play.  It plays with just very light sporadic background noise. The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows a hint of ring wear and very light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The custom inner sleeve with lyrics and a message is included and has small splits on each seam.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
