GOSPEL OAK

GOSPEL OAK

UNI UNLS 113 (UK) 1970

MCA RECORDS LIMITED

139 Piccadilly London W1 England

printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford

production: mike leander and roger watson

engineers: martin rushent and mike bobak

criminally overlooked album with biting fuzz guitar over beautiful rural progressive pieces

the emphasis throughout this fine record is on melody and composition rather than mindless riffing

one of the best pastoral rock records of its type - this gem should have been on Neon or Vertigo

lovely Vertigo-style gatefold cover

RECORD VERY NEAR MINT

thick, heavy, high quality pressing with blazing factory-fresh gloss

almost completely as new and plays mint throughout

engineering by Martin Rushent and Mike Bobak (names which later became so famous) guarantees a superb production

startling crystal clarity across the entire audio range

the long fuzz guitar solos by Bob Le Gate really burst from the grooves with stunning immediacy

LABELS MINT

tasty and not so often seen UK UNI labels are bright, sharp, clear and clean

only the faintest hint of a 'spindle' or two

original and correct poly-lined inner sleeve date coded 4-70

COVER EXCELLENT

a very clean example of this rare UK piece made by E. J. Day

merely some ultra light shelf wear to the seams and lightly bumped corners

nice spine with crisp and clear titles - sharp opening edges

rich vibrant colour with no significant wear - just a hint of circular wear to the rear

immaculate inside gatefold layout with a fantastic blue-tinted (Keef-style) moody shot of the band
