** Rare UK Bell first pressing of 1970 debut LP by LESLIE WEST's power trio MOUNTAIN. If you like CREAM, you will like this...
A Very Good- condition disc. Would have been graded Excellent, apart from a couple of original pressing imperfections (see photos), which cause a slight hiss each revolution for the first half of the first track on Side 2. Other than that, there are only a couple of slight surface marks/light scratches, none of which cause any specific sound deterioration. Original STEREO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, sticking, warps, or writing on labels. Both labels are very clean. Generally, very good sound quality - apart from the issues previously noted. Tested on a Thorens turntable.
Unlaminated sleeve in Very Good condition. Some general wear - especially to edges, and some creasing. No seam splits. Some wear to spine, but original text still legible.
Supplied in plain white inner sleeve.

GRADING:
All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:
MINT (M):
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): 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 (G): 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 (F): 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 (P): 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 (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
UK Payment - Paypal, bank transfer, or cleared cheque from a UK bank.
Non-UK payment - Paypal only.
