Item Description
JERUSALEM Same Deram UK 1972 red/white label Orig Here s is a near faultless copy of one the of greatest prog/hard rock LPs from the UK early 70s underground.
For me this is real cut above though, full of a rawness, intensity and power verging on MC5/Stooges style proto-punk at times, all wrapped up in doomy Sabbath style darkness.
Unlike many in this genre, the songwriting is fantastic and original and there are plenty of sonic surprises in the production, particularly in the variety of cosmic guitar tones.
Yes, this one appeals not just to psych and prog heads, but is also regarded by many metal fans as an early masterpiece.
Despite the patronage of Deep Purple s Ian Gillan, who recognised their unique talent and produced it, this LP went nowhere at the time.
Grading Vinyl: M- a few spindle marks on B side label but vinyl looks about as close to perfect as a 1972 record can be.
Plays as good as it looks.
Sleeve: M- lovely, looks almost shop fresh, sharp edges/corners, spine undamaged, laminate glossy as new, with only a couple of very minor creases.
Grading M- As new, no marks of any kind whatsoever.
EX Perhaps a few featherlight whispy marks, but no scratches or deterioration in sound VG Some light marks on the vinyl, but nothing that should cause clicks or pops, just occasional light surface noise.
VG Some heavier marks and maybe a few scratches that will cause some noise, but will still be a very enjoyable listen with definitely no sticks or skips or constant surface noise.
