Gnidrolog Lady Lake Rca Victor Uk 1st Press Lp 1972 Insert Prog Rock. Rare

Gnidrolog - Lady Lake

RCA Victor SF 8322 UK LP 1972

This is a 1972 UK 1st pressing LP. It has a heavyweight matte sleeve. The sleeve is printed in England by Clout Baker Ltd. . It comes complete with its original Lyric Insert. This is printed on quality semi-buff paper. The lyrics are printed on one side. The rear of the insert is blank. It comes with its original generic company plain paper inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl has glossy orange RCA Victor labels. The record has 1st press BGBS 1118-1E and BGBS 1119-2E matrix numbers. These are machine stamped in the dead wax.
This is a genuine UK 1st pressing of this extremely rare early 1970 s UK Prog-Rock LP. Complete with the lyric insert too. This, in my opinion, is an excellent LP and is up there with the great LP s of the Prog-Rock era. The title track Lady Lake is particularly strong. Gnidrolog released two LP s in the UK in 1972. This LP, in my opinion, is the much stronger of their two LP s.
I have some other rare collectible original 1960 s 1970 s Prog Rock, Psych Folk LP s for sale too. So please see my other listings. Don t miss out
Sleeve: There is some mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, very mild or very minor rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on a few areas. This hardly really notices. There is light, mild, very mild or very minor hairline rubbing wear on the bottom edge on a few areas. There is a very mild 11 cm hairline crease, that goes through the sleeve to a varying degree, near the bottom corner area at the spine. It is not too noticeable overall. There are about 10 small light horizontal creases at the spine area. These measure from 1 cm to 1.5 cm in length. Otherwise, the spine is in Excellent condition. The spine text is completely legible. There is a small area of light or very minor handling creases on the front sleeve. This is near the sleeve opening edge. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor ringwear on some areas. Overall, Very Good condition.
Vinyl: Firstly, there is an extremely minor warp. It hardly really notices, and only really notices when playing Side 2. It does not affect playback at all. The original inner sleeve, over time, has reacted with the vinyl and has left some light, mild, very mild, more moderate or very minor dull surface marks on both sides. These can only be seen under a strong light. This includes two 9 cm hairline paper sleeve streak marks on Side 1. There is also two thicker 10 cm paper surface streak marks that go horizontally at the start of Side 1, and a 9 cm surface paper streak mark midway through Side 2 too. These can only be seen under a strong light. There are some light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. Overall, Very Good condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show next to no spindle wear. The original company plain paper inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear. It shows mild to more moderate fading creasing. There are no seam splits.
The Lyric Insert is in Excellent condition. There is a very minor 2 cm crease in one corner tip area. There are some light, very mild or very minor handling creases on a few areas. These are very feint and hardly really notice. There are no rips, tears or writing.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety it plays Very Good to Very Good overall, Near Excellent in some places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle noticeable in some quieter places. There is a small area of more moderate intermittent crackle on the 2nd track on Side 2, and toward the very end of Side 1 too. In both cases. the crackle does not last too long. There are about 3 intermittent mild or very mild clicks near the start of Side 1. There are a couple of mild clicks midway through the 1st track on Side 1. There is one mild click on the 2nd track on Side 1. Although this is a little bit of a crackly copy in places, the crackle never overpowers the music. The music still shines through

gt gt Grading Information All grading is very strict adheres to Record Collector specifications. However, I have fine tuned them they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.
MINT Condition This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can barely be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear ringwear only.
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
Very Good Condition Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light, mild or very mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use or - symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of Very Good is really not too far from being in Near Excellent condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in Good condition.
gt gt Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Please note that these prices include packaging costs too
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7 Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders 3-6 LPs . All parcels will be marked Fragile and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP s .

I consider my postage packaging costs to be very transparent very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between 0.80 to 1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
