RED DIRT Monster Psych Rarity UnPlaYeD Mint Audio

	£		50

A BREAKDOWN OF THE ARTIST/S :-

A blues-rock band whose album is now an ultra-rarity. There's also been a limited edition (300 copies) release of live material, Diamonds In The Dirt, by the band. Produced by Geoff Gill, the Red Dirt album mostly comprises heavy blues-rock tracks, which are unlikely to have much appeal beyond fans of this genre. The only variation to this format comes with the opening cut Memories, the melodic Song For Pauline, the country-influenced Death Of A Dream and the final cut I've Been Down So Long.

THE RARITY OF THE RECORD :- One of the rarest albums to ever be produced in the 70's. Known to fetch well in excess of £1000. There were only ever a few hundred of these originals pressed and they are practicaly none existant when it comes down to seeing one up for sale. Here we have a limited edition certified re-issue of this monster rarity which was limited to only 500 copies which almost immediately sold out. A rare opportunity to get a copy of one of the rarest albums of all time

THE COVER :- Single laminated sleeve

THE VINYL VISUALLY :- On initial inspection the vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable!! and retains an original very deep glossy shine and looks beautifully clean and in unplayed condition. I cannot see any areas of concern

THE VINYL PLAY GRADED :- We have not played this record as it was unplayed and we aimed to keep it that way for the new owner. We know it is unplayed because we were the original purchasers. It is graded Mint & Unplayed

THE SLEEVE FRONT CONDITION :- The front cover is true to the original cover in every way. I believe it is an exact representation of the original. It is in Near Mint condition with only slight bumps in the spine corners. The laminate is lush and deep in lustre and shine.
