QUARTZ
SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM 1977 !!!!
WELL I THOUGHT I WOULD DO A LITTLE TRIBUTE TO LEGEND, MR OZZY OSBOURNE, WHO HAS A LINK WITH THIS BRILLIANT ALBUM. THERE WILL BE MANY SELLERS PUSHING THEIR SABBATH ALBUMS INTO AUCTION, HOPING TO MAKE MORE MONEY, FROM THIS VERY SAD TIME, WHICH I THINK IS WRONG, BUT THAT'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE !!!!
FIRSTLY IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF, "QUARTZ", PLEASE READ ON.... A BAND CALLED, 'BANDY LEGS' WERE FORMED IN BIRMINGHAM IN 1974, AND IN 1976 THEY SIGNED FOR, 'JET RECORDS', AND TOURED AND SUPPORTED, 'BLACK SABBATH', AND, 'AC/DC'. IN 1977 THEY CHANGED THEIR NAME TO, 'QUARTZ' FOR THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, ALSO CALLED, "QUARTZ", AND IT WAS PRODUCED BY BLACK SABBATH'S, 'TONY IOMMI', AND THEY CONTINUED TO TOUR WITH BLACK SABBATH. THE OZZY LINK, IS THAT THE TRACK, "CIRCLES", FEATURED OZZY OSBOURNE ON BACKING VOCALS, BUT IN THE FINAL MIX BY TONY IOMMI HE WAS CUT FROM THE FINAL MIX, AND THE TRACK DID NOT APPEAR ON THE ALBUM.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST FORGOTTEN ABOUT ROCK ALBUMS, AND WITH THAT SABBATH FEEL TO IT, SO IF YOU LIKE BLACK SABBATH THEN YOU WILL CERTAINLY LIKE THIS ALBUM. 'QUARTZ' PLAYED THE READING FESTIVAL, IN 1977, 1978, AND 1980, AND ALSO TOURED WITH, IRON MAIDEN, SAXON, UFO, GILLAN, AND RUSH, BUT SADLY THEY NEVER MADE THE BIG TIME, BUT NOW THEIR MUSIC IS APPRECIATED, AND SO IT SHOULD BE !!!! SO ANOTHER VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY PERSONAL TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1977 UK 1ST PRESS  :: UAG 30081  A-3U  'MELYS'  R 1  ::  UAG 30081  B-3U  'MELYS'  R 1 .
ON THE JET RECORDS LABEL  ::  T 762 .
COVER  ::  ORIGINAL WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH JUST A SMALL RUB IN THE MIDDLE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THERE IS A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR ON BOTH SIDES, SEEN ONLY WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE  :: EX/EX- .  VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS WITH SUPERB HARD ROCK AUDIO, AND IS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, WITH NOTHING TO MENTION ON THE AUDIO, SO UNLESS YOU HAVE A MINT ONE, THEN YOU WILL NOT BEAT THE AUDIO ON THIS VINYL !!!! VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, ON SIDE 1 THERE ARE JUST FOUR VERY TINY COSMETIC MARKS, AND ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND THERE IS A MORE NOTICEABLE THIN COSMETIC SCUFF LINE ACROSS SIDE 2. I CAN ASSURE YOU IT IS VERY LIGHT, AND HAS NOT DAMAGED THE GROOVES IN ANY WAY, AND WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, IT DISAPPEARS, SO ALWAYS A GREAT SIGN. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO, A VERY WELL DESERVED  :: NEAR MINT . 

LABELS :: AGAIN NO ISUES, JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT TINY MARKS, SO PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, AS THEY ARE NOTHING MUCH :: EX .

ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, WITH ROUNDED CORNERS, AND DIE CUT OPENING EDGE, JUST A BIT OF LIGHT CREASING ALONG THE OPENING SIDE EDGES, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG+/EX- .

SO I THINK A VERY NICE TRIBUTE TO OZZY, WITH THIS BRILLIANT ALBUM, THAT HE DID SOME BACKING VOCALS, BUT SADLY THE TRACK WAS CUT FROM THE ALBUM. CERTAINLY A VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ROCK ALBUM !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE .
