YOUNG BLOOD recording on INTERFUSION RECORDS.
ONE OF THE BEST LPs I HAVE EVER HEARD
IT REALLY IS UNBELIEVABLE WHY THIS GROUP ARE NOT MASSIVE
What a great LP this is, testament to the talent in England at this time.
Its always an added bonus when you pay a lot of money for a collectors record
that you can actually listen to it UNCHAINED is recognized as one of the best Rock LPs
that were ever made .If your a fan of great rock music track this down you wont regret it .
This magnificent LP was released in 1970 in England Germany and Australia .
The English pressing is the most highly prized by collectors, a mint UK copy
is an easy 1000 and rising....This is the Australian SAMPLE PRESSING on INTERFUSION RECORDS.
The front Laminated sleeve shows ring ware to the front and a slight bit of damage to the bottom
near the drummers chin but its still looks in decent shape. The back of the sleeve also has ring ware
and there is a crease to the back bottom right corner.The spine is in great shape and all spinal writings
can be read clearly .This is the same sleeve used in the German release
of this great LP and I myself prefer it to the cartoon copy. But being a completest collector I collected
all the releases of this magnificent LP. I love the rare shots of the band in action and I love the way
the song titles and the writing on the back of the LP is sunken into the sleeve you can feel this if you run
your fingers over the lettering a bit like braille in reverse . I have tried to capture this
in the pictures if you double click. Its these differences that got me interested in
being a completest collector, call me a geek but I was fascinated and still am by these subtle differences.
I think completest collecting is becoming more and more popular for a number of reasons. UK and USA
and JAPANESE pressings seem to lead the field in terms of value but other countries pressings are
also rising because these pressings are very rare and also very good.
The labels are in beautiful condition and side one has the SAMPLE RECORD NOT FOR SALE sticker.
The vinyl to sides 1 and 2 is beautifully sheeny under a normal light and still has that shimmer like
mirror when tilted in the light. There are a few light hairlines on close inspection but they are really
wispy . Under a bright spotlight you will find light scuffs with a searching eye but on playback they
do not matter in the slightest. This beauty plays all the way through FLAWLESSLY. Its very loud
and very clear and impossible to fault. There is static in the dead wax but does that matter ?
The sleeve I can only grade as VERY GOOD PLUS.
The record grades EXCELLENT MINUS due to cosmetic marks under a spotlight it plays
magnificently. And what a record. Youtube Deli Blues or NIGHTMARE This LP is the DOGS.....
If you collect rock records and you hav nt heard this well the best in life is just passing you by.
So a beautiful rare pressing of a seriously rare and desired collectors LP.
This is a very rare record if you are lucky eBay may find 1 or 2 a year if any.....
So an excellent cheaper option to the ULTRA highly prized and swiftly rising UK pressing .
Rare pressings of rare records are only going one way .These pressings from other
countries may not achieve the UK prices but I for one believe that is changing rapidly.
One this is guaranteed. ALL rare records are rising and these rare RARE pressings of
highly prized collectors records will certainly follow the UK values simply because they are
the very, VERY RARE, cheaper option
A PENNY START AND NO RESERVE
