Description

EGG - THE CIVIL SURFACE

VERY RARE UK PSYCH PROG ROCK OFFERING

PRESSED ON CAROLINE RECORDS IN 1974

MATRIX NUMBERS C1510 A-2 / B-2

FIRST PRESS INDICATORS

EGG WERE A SHORT LIVED BAND WHO PRODUCED 3 LP'S IN THE EARLY 70'S. THE FIRST TWO WERE ON THE VAUNTED DERAM LABEL, AND THE THIRD AND LAST ON THE CAROLINE LABEL. CLEARLY THE BAND WERE DROPPED BY DERAM AND HAD TO PRODUCE THEIR LAST LP ON AN INDEPENDANT LABEL.

AS SUCH THIS IS THE HARDEST OF THE RECORDS TO FIND BECAUSE OF THE POOR SALES, WHICH NO DOUBT WAS THE REASON THE BAND FOLDED SHORTLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS LP

THE SLEEVE IS A NON LAMINATED COVER WHICH IS IN SUPER CONDITION . VERY MINIMAL SHELF WEAR FOR A 30 YEAR OLD RECORD, AND I CAN FIND NO REASON TO GRADE IT ANY LESS THAN EX+

THE RECORD IS SUPERBLY GLOSSY AND VERY VERY CLEAN. THE SOUND QUALITY IS AWESOME DESPITE THE OBVIOUS COST ISSUES IN PRODUCTION FOR THE BAND. THE VINYL IS VERY LIGHTWEIGHT AND BENDY, BUT I WAS REALLY SUPRISED BY THE SOUND QUALITY WHEN I PLAY TESTED IT.

THERE IS A TINY AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND ON THE RUN IN, BUT THIS SOON DISSAPPEARS AND THE LISTENER CAN ENJOY A NEAR MINT SOUND QUALITY FROM THIS RARE OFFERING.

IF YOU ARE INTO PSYCH, THEN YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE THIS LP IN YOUR COLLECTION AS A PIECE OF BRITISH MUSIC HISTORY IF NOTHING ELSE
