Description
Fantastic condition copy of this rare UK re-issue on Sunset Records (The budget re-issue vehicle for Liberty).
Third album from influential U.K. blues/prog rockers, whose early incarnations toured as support with the likes of John Lee Hooker (from where they found their name) and The Rolling Stones.
Originally released on Liberty Records in 1970, this Sunset re-issue carries the red/black label design, and the run-outs bear the original Liberty matrix numbers, scored out and replaced by numbers from the Sunset series.
Artist: The Groundhogs
Title: Thank Christ For The Bomb
Sunset Records Catalogue No: SLS 50376

Vinyl: Ex Superb condition. Visually stunning - looks almost new. Glorious lustre and sheen. Play-tested in full and apart from a bit of light dust crackle, the reproduction is fantastic. No jumps, skips or scratches. Any minor dust crackle can almost certainly be cured with a professional clean, but that’s for the purists. It’s a perfectly good listen and not spoiled in any way - sounding just as vintage vinyl ought to.
Labels are the red/black version of the Sunset company design with silver label-text. Both sides immaculate with only the very lightest of spindle-wear evident.
Sleeve: Ex Incredible condition for what must be a 40+ year-old album. Laminated card sleeve featuring a military style cover inspired by a painting in the Imperial War Museum. Rear cover continues the theme with image of bi-plane and poppies alongside album credits & track-listing.
Structurally sound with no splits, tears or creases. The laminate cover extends to about 2mm from opening edge and wraps around the spine edge by around 8mm. Completely intact and undamaged, no lifting or blistering,
Super example of this Sunset re-issue, guessing from the mid-70s.
Genuine collectors item and offered at a nice attractive start price with no hidden reserves and happy to ship anywhere. (GSP applies to overseas).
As always I offer a full no-quibble money-back guarantee if any winning bidder not satisfied.
Postage discounts available when combined with other items from current listings.
Thanks very much for looking.
