I am downsizing my classic rock collection and will be selling a number of my LP's over the couple of weeks. Up for auction is a rare original white label promotional pressing of the U.S. release A&M Records Nazareth, "Hair of the Dog" produced in 1975. This was pressed at the Monarch pressing plant. This is Nazareth's breakout album, includes the hit songs "Hair of the Dog" and "Love Hurts". My main goal was to collect Near Mint versions of original vinyl for my rock collection, I wanted the same for the outer and inner sleeves as well, but the main priority was to to get the best quality vinyl as possible for the best audio quality, and also to get the best versions.  As far as condition goes, the outer sleeve is in VG+ condition, it has a hole punch at the top right corner, and has some light abrasions to the top of the back of the cover otherwise I would have rated it excellent, because it has most of the original color and still has excellent construction, this is not a wrecked cover. I am being very tough on my grading, other wise no tears, rubs, scratches, the front and rear of the cover is very nice, please see the pictures. The original plain paper inner sleeve is in Excellent condition, it has the hole punch through the top right hand-side and a tiny bit of tearing to the rear bottom left hand-side corner. The vinyl itself is in beautiful near mint condition, no marks or flaws of any kind, and the labels are also near mint, there is a microscopic bit of vinyl poking through the left side of the white label, it is hardly noticeable. It is not easy to find this record with this quality to the vinyl. The record plays with near mint quality as well, no sonic issues of any kind. This is the Monarch plant pressing, with the dead wax showing AM SP 4759 M1 (MR) (1) (delta) (check mark) 19761 (1) on side 1, and AM SP 4760 M1 (MR) (2) (delta) (check mark) 19761-X (1) on side 1 as called out by Discogs for the true first Monarch plant pressing. I will only sell to the continental United States, no international shipping. I will send via US Postal Service Media Mail. No reserve, just a very reasonable starting bid.
