 ANNEXUS QUAM - OSMOSE
A brilliant copy of this 1970 German1st press krautrock gem - so hard to find, especially in this condition!
Year/Label : 1970 GERMANY OHR/Metronome Label number : OMM 56.007Matrix numbers : A1 1 28 0654 544 S1, B1 1 28 0654 544 = 2 S2 (stamped on both sides) Stampers : ST-OMM - 56.007 - A  PF  /  ST-OMM - 56.007 - B  PF (etched on both sides)
Excellent (EX) condition vinyl - in normal daylight both sides of the vinyl come across as unmarked and it is only with close scrutiny under a bright light that just the occasional extremely faint paper scuff line come into view on each side - very, very trivial, and purely superficial as borne out by the superb stereo sound quality throughout.  The iconic "ear" labels are in excellent plus (EX+) condition - near perfect actually, with the only marks being just a couple of very small and extremely faint (barely visible) spindle trails next to the centre hole on each.  An excellent plus (EX+) condition German 1st press "gimmix" outer sleeve with flaps that can be folded in different ways to make different versions of the cover. Remarkably, bearing in mind the intricacy of this sleeve and it's 55 year old age, it is difficult to fault the condition of this sleeve. Firm edges, no edge scuffing (apart from a couple of very small (1cm or less) abrasions - "scuff" would be too strong a word - on the bottom edge), perfectly defined right angled corners with absolutely minimal rubbing, no unwanted writing, no cardboard creasing, each flap remains in perfect condition and functions perfectly, no score marks, no handling/storage marks, and all colours and wonderful art work remain superbly intact - unbelievable! Hard to believe that this vinyl and outer sleeve are 55 years old!  Excellent plus (EX+) stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, distortion or background crackle - great tone, wonderful clarity and a great listen throughout. You might come across the very occasional static click but no more than you would expect from a brand new record...wonderful. Comes with original and excellent (EX) condition polythene inner sleeve though I shall ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.  
One of the most sought after krautrock German 1st pressings - so difficult to get hold of, especially in such brilliant condition as this!

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard

I just wish to reaffirm that the condition of the vinyl is "excellent", not "excellent plus" or "near mint". Both sides have a couple of very wispy hairlines and a few extremely fine paper scuff marks/lines, and all only really visible when closely viewed under a bright light - nothing obvious, certainly nothing feelable, and each superficial and not impacting upon the truly excellent stereo sound quality.
