ALL RECORDS ARE PLAY GRADED AND ARE GIVEN A TRUE AND ACCURATE GRADING
I use a VPI record cleaning machine in tandem with an ultrasonic tank to thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

EGG
THE POLITE FORCE

UK DERAM SML 1074

Released in 1971, The Polite Force is the second album of British band Egg. It is often regarded as the band’s best work, being a much more serious effort than their debut album. The music is a fine example of early English progressive rock, bearing many similarities to Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Although the music of Egg does have occasional singing, it is mostly instrumental and as such relies on tight ensemble playing and interesting thematic and melodic material with extended chordal harmonies and irregular time signatures.
