LISTEN BEFORE BIDDING
Listen to the whole record before bidding (audio is not visible or playable on mobile apps).

This is the Mirk 'Moddan's Bower' LP on the Mother Earth label from 1979.  The cover is still in very good+ condition with some light creasing and scuffing.  The labels are in excellent condition with signs of spindle marks.  The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The vinyl looks excellent (overall), really bright and clean with light surface/sleeve removal marks.  Playback is excellent with virtually no surface noise except some very light crackle in places.  If you are intending to make a bid please play and listen to the audio of the record to judge for yourself.

NOTES:
Very rare Scottish folk rock album by Mirk from 1979.  Original copy from 1979 on the Mother Earth label fully signed with 7 signatures by band members, roadies etc.  The cover is still in 'nearly excellent' condition with a few light creases and some scuffing to the white of the cover.  The edges and spine have little very little damage.  There are visible light spindle marks on the labels, but the labels themselves are in excellent condition.  The vinyl looks excellent overall with a few light surface marks but plays back 'minty'.  The LP plays really nicely with hardly any audible surface noise.  So overall not visually in mint condition but still a very nice copy of this hard to find classic with the addition of the signatures.  Please play the audio and look at the photos to create your own opinion of its condition.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
