Monument - The First Monument
Beacon – BEAS 15
1971 | UK | 1st Press
As the jacket notes put it:"Monument aren't the first rock group to profess an interest in witchcraft and voodoo but in their case it is no mere gimmic [sic]. Vocalist and keyboard man Steve Lowe was a founder member of a thriving witches coven in Essex and the group's other three members all share his dedication to the occult, a dedication which shows in their music"
Condition: VG / VG+
Overall it's very nice looking and sounds wonderful. Magical even.
Jacket / Outer Box: VG 7 / 10
Overall very nice looking. Some wear to corners and edges. There's a light scratch across part of the front, not deep enough to impact the underlying graphics. Visible ringwear on the reverse (please see photos). There are instances of color stain spots visible on the reverse. The jacket was originally manufactured with thin material carboard. The paper inner sleeve is original and shows some toning. Overall it is evident that this was handled with care.
Disc: VG+ 8.0 / 10
Disc shows a some minor faint hairlines or other light smudges or small scuffs that do not affect the playing of the record. Looks quite good with nice luster and solid labels. Play testing sounds proper with no major defects to the playing or sound. Overall very appealing.
