Item Description
Trident, TRI 1004, Italy, 1973, gatefold.
EX/ EX Cover very nice, newish look, feel, and composition has only some thin, light lines/ dots of edge wear to top and bottom edges and corners, a light ring crease at top back cover, some tiny spine creases, a barely noticeable small bulge at front center bottom.
Inner gatefold spread has two thin approximately 2 by half inch patches of surface art pull up at bottom center - shown in close ups above.
Correction sticker: This copy bears the original correction sticker on spine, printed with correct Trident label of TRI 1004, stamped over the printer s number of TRN 1004, as do most original copies.
Today these stickers are seen on most original copies, except for some that may have escaped from the record label before stickering, and others where the sticker simply fell off with time.
Sticker is intact, peeling just slightly at corner.
Lp is in very nice shape - like new appearance, clean, great sounding, with only the minutest of surface/ groove noise, evident generally only in the quiet passages, which aren t many on this lp.
Very small label stain around print on side 2.
Well maintained and barely played copy.
Wailing, driving, intricate guitar-keys-synths -driven mind-blowing ultra-rare prog classic by this five piece lineup on guitar-keys-bass-drums-2nd guitar/synths doing astoundingly original and inventive segmented, counterpoint-infused compositions.
All material has its own diverse flair and flavor, revealing detail and different aspects with repeated listens.
A masterpiece said to be analogous to the musical equivalent of a Da Vinci painting, or Michelangelo s David.
Whomever the enigmatic Frazz of title fame was/ is, the band must have held him in high respect to offer such an epic in his tribute.
A monumental work of great detail and flavor, one that never ceases to amaze.
Only a very finite number of them left on Earth, all in high demand.
A stunning example
