Space Farm “Self-titled” LP ~ New Zealand PROG 1972 (Zodiac)

Space Farm – Self-titled LP (orig. New Zealand STEREO Zodiac ZLP 1042—1972)

On offer here is an ULTRA RARE original NEW ZEALAND ZODIAC issue of the self-titled (AKA “Going Home to Eternity”) album by SPACE FARM.  This (in my opinion) is one of the finest PROGRESSIVE ROCK albums ever to come out of New Zealand.

GRADING (also refer photos)

Cover:

VG(+) flipback: laminated with a beautiful appearance overall—moderate handling wear including creasing & light ring-wear/surface wear; ‘TASTE’ sticker on back (bottom-right) that can easily be removed -  kinda looks cool so I have left it there.

Record:

VG- to VG visual: beautiful glossy sheen—NUMEROUS mainly light surface scuffs, however there are also a few light scratches (track 8 has the lowest grading, ‘G+’).    QUALITY THICK VINYL PRESSING - GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER COPY! ; audible: some underlying surface noise & occasional light pops—has obviously been played a lot, but THE OVERALL SOUND IS STILL PUNCHY AND VIBRANT.  Track 8 is quite clicky in parts due to a few light scratches, however despite these flaws, the overall sound is still acceptable.  COMPLETELY FREE OF ANY JUMPS OR SKIPS ; labels: HEAVY spindle wear.

IF YOU WANT AN AFFORDABLE COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT YOU CAN PLACE ON YOUR TURNTABLE, TURN UP LOUD, PLAY AND ENJOY, WELL THEN THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU!  HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE SEEKING A NEAR MINT COPY, YOU WILL (OBVIOUSLY) NEED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE.
