Description

Birds, the second album by Dutch prog rock band Trace continues in the same vein as their first. A change in lineup finds ex-Focus drummer Pierre Van der Linden being replaced by, of all people, Ian Mosley, of Darryl Way’s Wolf, and later with Marillion. (Violinist Darryl Way guests on this album.) Side two is made up of the excellent “Bird Suite” (aka “King Bird”). Originally released in 1975, this reissue was released in Japan on Philips in 1978 and comes in an obi (paper band) and an insert. The art work is laid out differently on this pressing than on the Dutch and American pressings. The cover is in Ex-- and the record is in M- condition. (For more info on my grading system, click on the “me” icon above.) For many other albums by Trace and Rick Van der Linden, see my other listings.

Payment and Shipping Information

In the U.S., postage would be about $4.82 for one LP sent by Media Mail. Package insured upon request. Winners outside of the U.S. will be notified of postal fees, but an approximate cost for one LP to many countries is $16.97 by airmail (but Canada and Mexico will be less than this for most single LP packages). Yes, I do combine shipping so if you bid on and win more than one item, you WILL save on postage! Note: I do not gouge on postage and packaging costs. Record will be carefully packaged in a strong, oversized LP mailer. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. E-mail: david.o@jjldj.com.

International Customers: Please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side. Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due. I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end. Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges (typically collected upon delivery or pickup) are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Please check with your country’s customs office prior to bidding/buying to determine what these additional costs will be.
