BULLDOG BREED - MADE IN ENGLAND
Debut and only offering from this short-lived band, now a sought after and highly collectable rock/psych/mod gem
Original 1970 UK DERAM Nova1st press (recorded in 1969, released in 1970)Label number : STEREO SDN 5
Matrix numbers : ZAL-9111.P-1W / ZAL-9112.P-1W

An overall nice condition copy of this sought after rock/psych gem but with some relatively mild blemishes : each side of the vinyl has retained much of it's original black sheen and in normal daylight the condition of each comes across as excellent. Closer scrutiny under a bright light does reveal some some wispy hairlines and paper scuffs on each side along with some otehr light marks including some sreas of "dulling" on the dead wax areas. There is nothing "feelable" or obviously heavier than surface marks, however, and nothing to significantly diminish the impressive audio quality, making the overall condition of each side of the record as a solid very good (VG). Each label is in excellent (EX) shape - difficult to fault apart from just a few small and extremely light spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole. The front-side laminated outer sleeve remains in very good (VG) condition - each edge (including the spine) remains firm with no bending or edge creasing, each edge (again including the spine) remains mostly unscuffed (just the odd "nick") and the spine text is all perfectly legible. There are some small areas of vertical laminate lift adjacent to the spine and a number of 1cm laminate creases adjacent and perpendicular to the front-side edges. The corners remain nicely defined right angles with minimal rubbing on each. The remaining imperfections are some light (but clearly noticeable) fraying on the opening edges and some light discolouration/shelf wear towards the reverse side edges. All artwork, colours, photos and text remain clear and nicely defined. The stereo audio quality is very good plus (VG+) and for much of the record excellent : there are x5 light clicks towards the beginning of B2 followed by x3 more similarly light clicks mid way on the same track, otherwise no skips, jumps, repeats, nasty clicks (you might come across just the very occasional and very light background click) or pops, and barely any background crackle or interference at all (just the hint of some very mild crackle at the very beginning of each side). No distortion and every track on this rock/psych/mod gem making for an excellent listen. Comes with original "STEREO" blue and white DECCA poly-lined inner sleeve, with no splits or tears, just some mild corner creasing, and remaining fully functional.
A rare and sought after 1969 psych gem, completely under the radar when first released in 1970, with mild blemishes but remaining very listenable and a welcome addition to any serious vinyl collection.

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl(s) into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the sleeve itself 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.
If this record interests you then take a look at my other listings for more 60's and 70's classic vinyl.
A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 52 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
Descriptions of any records I sell comply with the Rare Record Price Guide grading guidelines :
Mint The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
Fair The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
Poor The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
Bad The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
