Here is a really superb very rare uk heavy prog-blues rock album. This copy is in brilliant NEAR MINT condition and has been barely played at all. The MacNeill Press fully laminated sleeve is also in superb condition and the original pic/info inner sleeve is excellent and has no splits. This is a top copy of 'Hackensack's - Up The Hard Way'.
If you like top notch heavy blues prog rock with loads of brilliant razor sharp heavy lead guitar then this very rare 1974 album by 'Hackensack' will definitely not disappoint in any way.
VINYL = EX++/NM (NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES, PLAYS SUPERB)
The vinyl is in EX++/NM very clean condition. Both sides still have a brilliant original deep sheen, there are no noticeable surface marks, scuffs or scratches, there are just a few hard to spot ultra-fine wispy top surface hairlines visible in harsher light. This album has only ever had just a handful of very careful plays on a decent turntable so all tracks play and sound excellent+/M- throughout with a excellent clean and clear sound quality. There are no bad surface marks so there are no loud clicks, pops and no annoyiong loud crackle, i played both sides right through before listing and there is barely even a trace of hiss/crackle at all. This excellent rare album has been very well looked after and basically plays and sounds as close to new as you will find. This is a top copy in top condition and it will definitely not disappoint in any way.
The run-off codes on side two have been crossed out and changed from '2383262' and then corrected to '2383263'.
LABELS = MINT-
Both labels are in MINT- condition, there are no marks and no traces of wear at all, these labels still look new and cannot be faulted.
FULLY LAMINATED COVER = NEAR MINT
The fully laminated single sleeve was made and printed in the uk by MacNeill press. This cover in in brilliant clean condition with no bad flaws. The front and back lamination is still really excellent with only a few of the lightest very small lines, there is also a very narrow area of blistering on the front right near the spine, this is very common with fully laminated covers of this age. The top edge has a very fine line of lifting at the center, this is hardly even noticeable and barely even worth mentioning. The bottom edge is excellent with no wear at all. The spine has no wear but is just very slightly out of shape in places, but all text is still very clear and very easy to read. This cover still looks really superb and has no bad faults at all.
ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE = EX
The original pic/info inner sleeve is in excellent condition. The vinyl has spent most of it's years inside a seperate white poly-lined inner so the original is still excellent, the bottom edge has a tiny amount of wear but there are no splits. This original inner sleeve is still in brilliant condition.
