Description

Nice condition and ultra rare copy of this A1/B1 UK Bronze 1st press from 1972, complete with lyric inner bag!!

Originally released in 1972, and distributed extensively worldwide, this album has been comprehensively re-issued and re-pressed over the years.

This is one of the original 1st presses in the Roger Dean-designed gatefold sleeve, and still has the inner bag with printed lyrics intact.

Artist: Uriah Heep

Title: The Magician's Hat

Bronze Records Catalogue No: ILPS 9213

Matrix Numbers: (Machine-Stamped) C 86456 A-1/B-1

Tracks:

Side 1: 1) Sunrise, 2) Spider Woman, 3) Blind Eye, 4) Echoes In The Dark & 5) Rain

Side 2: 1) Sweet Lorraine, 2) Tales & 3) The Magician's Birthday

Vinyl: VG+ A lovely clean copy. It has some superficial hairline surface marks, but play-tested and reproduction is clear as a bell with no skips, jumps, scratches or skating. Surprisingly little crackle and hiss, even on the run-ins and dead wax between tracks. It retains a nice lustre and sheen despite obviously having been handled and played. Standard Bronze company labels with the evolving primate wheel design and label-text in brown. Labels are clean and free from scuffs stains and blemishes - ample signs of spindle-wear.

Sleeve: VG++ Great condition sleeve. Semi-gloss finished stiff-card gatefold sleeve with distinctive red/blue Roger Dean design front & rear sleeve. Inner gatefold made up of album credits and performance photos. Sleeve is completely intact with no splits, tears or creases. There's a little very light edge-wear but the spine is still solid and all seams securely glued down. The inner sleeve, so often missing from these copies is also completely intact. It's printed with full lyrics and illustrated with embellishments based on the main sleeve design. This inner is in great un-damaged condition.

A super example of a genuine rarity and sought-after collectors item. Recognised by Discogs and Record Collector RRPG.

Realistic start price, no hidden reserves and I'm happy to ship anywhere. As always, I offer a full, no-quibble money-back guarantee if any winning bidder not satisfied.

Postage discounts available when combined with other items from current listings.

Thanks for looking.
