Iguana

'S/T'

Polydor, UK, 1972

2383 108

IMPRESSIVE PERIOD piece from this obscure and very rare heavy progressive jazz rock band working the same ground as say Colloseum, Running Man, Heaven, Nucleus and Samurai. Heavy riffing embellished with blasts of well timed sax and great long tracks that take you to the sort of places that you never quite come back from.

Clearly the band meant business as all the tracks harness a degree of intensity that burns long and deep. Tracks like 'Southampton Blues', 'I Don't Need No Buddy', 'Prostitute' and the title track 'Iguana' suggests that they were more interested in the darker side of jazz rock as the riffs and themes kick hard and take no prisoners.

Was once a bargain bin regular but over the last 15 years has been getting seriously rare. In fact I think I've seen more Running Man originals than this one.

Pressing: Polydor, UK, 1972

Vinyl: Clean condition. A few spindle marks and light signs of use. Numerous tiny scuffs (note NOT sctaches) - primarilly due to sliding in and out of the inner sleeve. Grades as Ex

Cover: Minor signs of use. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover. Sharp corners (slightly worn), one light ding, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Spine is straight and uncrushed - tiny amount of wear, very minor. Thin sun bleach line along top of front cover - see photo. Grades as a strong Ex.

This is a vinyl album NOT a CD. No time wasters, nit pickers or deadbeats- retribution will be swift and mercyless. Bidders with very low feedback new to ebay are often deadbeats so please don't be surprised if I run a check on you in advance. All gradings are visual but may have been spot tested to double check. I very rarely list records that are in any way scratched- they go in the trash- and I will only list a scratched record if scarcity dictates otherwise but with full disclosure. Often vinyl display 'scuffs' which are surface marks (mostly caused by sliding in and out of the inner sleeve or careless handling) but NOT scratches and they do not have any effect on playback. If the vinyl has a scuff I will try and mention it. Even my Vg+ records are way better than most gradings on ebay- check my feedback for vindication.Gradings are cover/vinyl. All records are sold as-is that means no refunds or returns except in very rare circumstances. I am not a lending libary so don't ask for a refund (I've been burn't in the past with people buying records, taping or CDRing and then returning them and I've also had scratched records returned in place of clean albums). If you do not accept this rule then please don't bid. I accept Paypal, UK cheques/PO's, Euro's. NO US checks or MO's. Insurance against loss or damage is not included and must be requested seperately if required. I will only refund you when I have received the refund, if any, from the Post Office which could take months. Payment must be received within 10 days- no excuses. Hey why not check out my other auctions and save with multiple postage. I list a fine selection of seventies leaning Prog, Psych, Hard Rock, Folk, AOR and Country Rock on a near weekly basis so make sure you check in regularly or you may miss some good and unusual stuff. Lastly feel free to get in touch if you have any specific wants. Thanks.
