The condition of the cover is the best Ifve seen lately. Minimal lamination lifting and creasing along the spine, but otherwise, it is well-preserved. The record has a few hardly audible light marks, except one tiny spot on the end of A-1 makes a few faint ticks. The rest plays almost flawlessly. It's undoubtedly the nicest example of this famous rarity.
Nordic hard progressive rock at its finest! This copy contains a super rare poster! The die-cut cover with a hype sticker of the poster is in great shape with no particular issues have to mentioning. A few retouches by a black lfelt tip around the edge, but barely noticeable. Iinner sleeve has usual splits on sides, but otherwise itfs in a better nick than average. The poster has some creases that have been repaired with tape from the back, but other than that, it is in very good condition. Of course, there is no evidence that it was ever displayed on the wall! Record shows some surface marks and scuffs, and have occasional minor tickings, but nothing overwhelms. There are some light water stains on the labels.
Limited pressing of 300 copies, recorded in Nagoya. Permeated with a psychedelic aroma yet grounded in academia, the sound is filled with dark, serene, and weaving beauty and danger. The female vocals are extraordinarily clear, creating an ethereal album that transports you out there. It's one of a kind that you won't find anything closer to very often elsewhere. You should try it if you dug the Australian folk magnum opus "Hush" by Extradition. It's not the same, but it has a similar vibe, to say the least.
There is a saw cut on the bottom left, many pin holes at the upper left, and a small tear on the rear top right. Otherwise, the cover is still presentable. The record is beautiful and shiny except for one small scratch at the beginning of A-1 that creates a few light ticks; the rest plays flawlessly. It includes an elusive insert (folded line middle).
The cover has some rubbing on the edges, and a wrinkle on the upper right side of the front due to a manufacturing defect, but it is still keeper and not unsightly. The record also has some faint marks, so it gets E- grade, but there are no noticeable issues when playing it.
Numbered 1000 copies special limited edition housed in a gimmick multi-layered triple gatefold sleeve with a latticework image. There is no imperfection on gimmick parts which is uncommon for this fragility. Import sticker on the rear top left. All corners have some creasing and small bend. Includes inner sleeve which has bottom and side splits and minor stains.
Pressing bubbles on the vinyl due to poor quality made, though it plays OK. Nothing overwhelming. Just some surface noise can be heard before or after music. gThe Roachh is hard rock blaster, while gVirginia Nealh is dated psych pop but somehow features a magnificent mellotron!
The cover is beautiful, still in shrink with a tiny bit of tear at the opening on the rear. The record has a few light ticks at the beginning of B-3, but the rest plays perfectly. The side one label has an error, as it has the side two label instead. So, both sides show the same labels.
