Item Description
One of the UK s most sought after prog / psych-folk rarities, this is a simply lovely original first issue copy of the Bromley-formed outfit s debut album from 1971.The original stereo album Dawn DNLS.3019 is in amazing condition, with only one single light hairline, across Side 1, which doesn t sound at all it s as if one person played the record, got 30 seconds into the first track and fumbled taking the needle off.
It s a hugely conservative VG , solely because of that single non-sounding hairline.The gatefold cover is also in fantastic condition, with very, very minor corner wear and a ringwear impression but no discolouration on the top of the front and rear of the sleeve and an almost imperceptible thumb print in the middle of the opening on the front sleeve.
The gatefold itself is clean, apart from one 5mm round mark grease? , as shown in the fourth picture above.
The original lyric sheet is present and correct, and it s in lovely condition apart from a little creasing to one side.
The sleeve s conservatively VG , again because of very minor issues.
