Description

JO'BURG HAWK - self titled

Rare and sought after prog/psych gem - a great all round copy with great STEREO audio quality

Year/Label : 1973 CHARISMA UK Label number : CAS 1064 STEREO Matrix numbers :  CAS 1064 A-1 U, CAS 1064 B-1 U with "PORKY" and "PECKO" etched on the side 1 and side 2 dead wax respectively Stampers : 1 A  /  1 R
Excellent (EX) condition vinyl retaining an impressive jet black lacquered sheen and in normal daylight comes across as virtually unmarked and it is only with very close inspection under a bright light that some small and extremely faint paper scuff lines can be identified on both sides - purely superficial and not impacting upon the truly excellent stereo sound quality. The iconic Charisma "large mad hatter" labels are excellent plus (EX+) - near perfect with the only marks being a few small very, very faint rogue spindle trails next to the centre hole on each label. Clearly, this is a record that has been only sparingly played.  A very good plus (VG+) condition non-laminated E.J. Day outer gatefold sleeve with firm edges and occasional light on the bottom edges and spine and the odd tiny scuff "nick" on the top edge. The corners remain well defined right angles with some minor rubbing on each, and the only other blemishes are just one or two small and non-obvious handling/storage marks on each of the front and reverse sides (very trivial). The opening edges remain firm with no fraying and all colours, text and art work remain in excellent shape with great definition still. The interior of the gatefold, with beautifully laid out credits and album story line, is near perfect. A real work of art.  Excellent plus (EX+) stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, clicks, distortion and any background crackle is at an absolute minimum...neglible, in fact. Great tone and clarity with every track a great listen - such an underrated and "under the radar" LP. Comes with original and excellent condition Charisma advertising inner sleeve with no splits or edge fraying and just some very minor light surface creasing. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.    Long lost and very hard to find prog/psych gem and difficult to believe that this great condition copy is 52 years of age. 
POSTAGE COSTS :  

For the UK £3.64 using Royal Mail tracked 48, ebay "Simple Delivery"; 

for continental Europe £11 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for,

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

 If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
