Description
Akritas: same 1973, Greece/Polydor 2421031. Disc has some surface scuffs, looks like it was stored in a dirty inner sleeve at some point, plays almost perfectly M- but it gets a VG+ visual grade. Cover has a pale sticker stain in the upper right front, inner gatefold has some surface tears along the bottom (see pic), it looks like some glue splashed on the cover during manufacture and the gatefold had to be forced open by the original owner, light soiling otherwise, it gets a Fair grade overall. Don't be put off by my grading, this is an LP that is widely known to be plagued with defects. This disc plays almost flawlessly, I had a visually EX to M- disc once that did not play nearly this well. Killer and rare heavy prog LP with astounding playing; this rivals the best of the Italian bands! Intense searing lead guitar with an eastern feel, incredible aggressive drumming, trippy electronic sound effects, wow! This is definitely one of the rarest European prog LPs, it's impossible to dig up. I haven't had a copy since the 1980s; I would guess only 500 or 1000 were originally made.
Look below for a picture or two of the actual item up for auction.
All my records are guaranteed. I try to grade strictly enough to please all potential bidders and will note any found flaws with the disc or cover specifically. If you need any more information, feel free to e-mail me.
I pack/ship once a week, usually on Friday. I use sturdy cardboard boxes designed for shipping records, and I remove the disc from the cover to prevent seam splits during shipment.
