Description
Original German Kosmic Kurier 2/58.003 from 1973
Super rare complete package set.
Original Box set was originally laminated on both sides. There was a production problem with these boxes from the beginning and the lamination never adhered properly. The clear lamination plastic film on this one has been carefully removed leaving a nice glossy foil background which looks better than they did with the lamination problem. The lamination material from the front side is still in the box for the completist collector. The inside of the box looks mint.
Original heavy glossy tag board insert with uncut tarot cards is near mint.
All Original heavy glossy tag board inserts are included with brown paper band and these are all mint (as new).
Includes both original inner sleeves both in near mint conditon.
Fantastic psychadelic space rock with a wide selection of music (in part similar to early Ash Ra Tempel) features great organ, electric and acoustic guitar, percussion, recorder, bass, piano etc. The music ranges from beautiful dreamy psychedelia to intense heavy jams with very low frequency bass and organ notes that rattles the windows. This LP features some of the best music on record from an all-star cast including Jerry Berkers, Jurgen Dollase, Hartmut Enke, Harald Grosskopf, Klaus Schulze, and Walter Westrupp. This is one of the finest LPs ever in this genre.
LP Condition: NM / NM / EX (records / cover)
Visual Grading under strong bright halogen light. Straight grading. Please excuse some dust residue from scanning photo seen on pictures.
Label Condition: 3 sides are mint, one side has a very short faint spindle mark.
Play Grading Front End: Basis 2001 Turntable with Graham 2.2 arm and Benz Ruby 2
The whole record plays M to NM on my system, fantastic quality, no significant surface noise, very clean in the quiet parts. The record was only played once before me and then once again by me to verify the visual grade. These 2 discs are the best sounding KK records I have heard.
Cover/Box Condition. Excluding the factory lamination problem, the box is M- with no significant bends, marks, or wear in any areas including the sides and the corners. It is very difficult and subjective to grade the lamination problem. I think it really looks EX+ but we will still give it a more conservative EX grade for completists.
Payment by postal money order, bank money order, or PayPal. Shipping is $12.00 US by Priority USPS (including insurance and special packaging), $12.00 to Canada (special packaging), $18 by air to Japan or Europe (special packaging), or inquire for a quote to other lands.
Good luck and have fun bidding, Dan.
