BUDGIE - SQUAWK (1971) - relisted due to non-paying time waster with 0 feedback!

I AM SELLING A RARE AND ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING VINYL COPY OF BUDGIE’S SECOND ALBUM, SQUAWK ON MCA RECORDS LABEL FROM 1971.

Squawk is Budgie's second album. Released in September 1972, this recording was certified Gold in 1973. Cover art is by Roger Dean.

A Welsh power trio with attitude, Budgie never got the recognition they deserved. Furious in your face rock followed was by haunting acoustic ballads, Budgie certainly appreciated the value of light and shade. Tony Bourge's guitar playing is as usual flawless, and on bottled he shows some very tasty slide guitar.
Hot as a dockers armpit is like a fistfull of knuckles to your jaw while Rolling home again has to be one of the most joyous romps ever recorded. The best of early 70’s rock!

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT - THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT - THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD - THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD - THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.

FAIR – THE RECORD IS STILL JUST PLAYABLE BUT HAS NOT BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND DISPLAYS CONSIDERABLE SURFACE NOISE. IT MAY EVEN JUMP. THE COVER AND CONTENTS WILL BE TORN, STAINED AND/OR DEFACED.

THE USE OF + OR - ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE GRADES.
