ONE OF THE FINEST ROCK ALBUMS OF THE '70s
ATOMIC ROOSTERIn Hearing Of
UK PEGASUS (PEG 1) FIRST PRESSING (July 1971) OF ATOMIC ROOSTER'S TREMENDOUS "In Hearing Of"
SEEN LITTLE USE - SOUNDS GREAT

MATRIX: PEG 1 A-1U / PEG 1 B-1U
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH ARTWORK "Drawn by Roger Dean", "Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford" WITH THE INTERNALLY PRINTED "PEGASUS RECORDS 37 SOHO SQUARE W1" ADDRESS AND FACTORY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE

Side 1:
Breakthrough (6:17)
Break The Ice (5:05)
Decision/Indecision (3:51)
A Spoonful Of Bromide Helps The Pulse Rate Go Down (4:34)
Side 2:
Black Snake (5:58)
Head In The Sky (5:14)
The Rock (4:31)
The Price (5:39)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels - just a couple of light spindle traces (on Side Two) - barely played
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Clean surfaces, some light hairlines and two scuff marks on Side One all practically harmless (clearly visible on the fourth photo - see detailed audio assessment below)
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Crystal clear, deep, rich and clean sound to this wonderful record - very direct in approach (similar to DP's Machine Head) - straight to the point - not a wasted note - in my opinion one of the finest rock albums of the 70s and my play-check at loud volume found little to fault - a few light ticks on "Decision/Indecision" and "The Rock" but these are purely background - and the scuff mark mentioned above (on "Bromide…") is audible for just three revolutions - again, nothing major - sounds great
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Some general light storage rub to the edges and spine (all text is still clear and bold) and some small brown spotting to the front otherwise in fine shape - none of the all-too common sticker removal tears
