Vinyl Labels - Mint Original UK 1st Pressing. Apparently only 99 copies were made on UK private "Deroy" record label This vinyl rarely comes up for auction but our copy is SIGNED by each band member. I doubt any of the other copies are. The creater of the band is from Cumbria and most likely toured in Newcastle upon Tyne, where our copy is located. The cover is the original Laminated cover and it is in very good condition. Please see our abover grading. This is a VERY VERY rare progressive rock album and you are unlikely to ever find a signed copy. For more information on the band, please read the below: "England is a band formed by the band's guitarist, Olly ALCOCK in 1971, accompanied by bandmates Mike KIDSON, soon to be Genesis' road manager on drums, and John WAITE, who had a hit single called "Missing You" in 1984 on bass. The band played festivals and gigs for every record company there was, but had no success. In 1973, KIDSON left England to become Genesis' road manager and WAITE left to form his own band, leaving Alcock band-less. Around 1974, ALCOCK had got his band up and running, with Ben EGGLESTON on bass and John CLARK on drums, and Paul ROSSITER on saxophone. The band had played many gigs, but has yet to have been signed, resulting in drummer John CLARK's resignation. It is now 1976, and the band has found a record deal, with Phil COOK on drums and Paul ROSSITER as a mere guest saxophone player. Their debut album, "England", was released in 1976, but has not recieved much publicity and success. In 1978, with punk taking over, the band has broken up and was never to be heard from again. Now, ALCOCK has his own band called The Olly Alcock Band, but the details of COOK and EGGLESTON remain hidden. The band is heavily influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin, Rush, and Wishbone Ash, and their main style is blues-oriented prog, similar to the sounds of Nektar. I can't seem to find any audio or video samples so later this week I'll record samples through my gramophone."
Grading System All of our records are graded using the Record Collector Magazine's grading system. Please click here to read our grading guide. This will give you insight into each grade.
As well as the grades above, I will note any individual fault, such as pen marks, stickers on the sleeve and so on. We do not grade with the + system, that some other sellers use. If we are unsure, we will always state the record as slightly lower in grade. For example, if we think a record is between Very Good and Good condition. We will always state Good.
