Description
Spontaneous Combustion (1972) Harvest SHVL 801
1st pressing; matrix stamped in run-out groove =
SHVL 801 A – 2
SHVL 801 B – 2
Highly collectible vintage UK early 70s progressive rock on Harvest records. Produced (and financed by!) by Greg Lake (ELP, King Crimson, I Believe In Father Christmas etc.)
This album is an essential addition to any serious prog vinyl collection – especially anyone looking to achieve a complete original set of Harvest albums. (And dig the catalogue number SHVL 801 – this is four behind The Dark Side of the Moon, which is SHVL 804). Originally released January 1972.
Condition: -
LP is near mint. I don’t think that the original owner of this record liked it at all; it has barely been played. Visually and audibly, this is near-perfect. I don’t even think that any of my classical or direct-cut Japanese jazz vinyl has a playing surface as quiet as this. And there is no inner-groove distortion!
Have a listen to a rip that I made of the LP from my Linn Sondek LP12: -
