Cover is in VG+ with light ring/edge/corner wear and has a hardly noticeable spot where the price tag used to be. The LP is in VG+ and plays great! A black and white poster comes with the album. "Hold" is Icelandic band Ham's first album. The Smekkleysa label was founded by a member of the Sugarcubes.
More on HAM (from wikipedia): HAM's first album was Hold, a controversial record which received no radio airtime. The band's attempt to get into the big league began when they warmed up for The Sugarcubes in five concerts in 1988. The following year they released the album Buffalo Virgin with One Little Indian records and held several concerts in New York. The album Pleasing the Pirahna was recorded in 1990 but was never released—supposedly another album by the name Pimpmobile was also recorded but remains unreleased.
In 1991-1992, the band participated in the making of the film Sódóma Reykjavík, with singer and guitarist Sigurjón Kjartansson writing most of the soundtrack. HAM's participation in the making of this cult Icelandic classic played a significant part in the band's later notoriety.
