Description
LP Record: Nirvana: Dedicated to Markos lll
Written and performed by Alex Spyropolous and Patrick Campbell-Lyons
From 1970 on the UK Pye International record label comes this ultra-rare LP by Nirvana entitled "Dedicated To Markos III" (NSPL 28132).
'To Markos III' was originally slated for release on Island records but label boss Chris Blackwell wanted a singles band not an Island version of the Moody Blues and gave Patrick Campbell- Lyons & George Spyropoulos free reign to take their tape elsewhere. This they duly did, writing the caustic 'Christopher Lucifer' in barbed tribute to Mr Blackwell along the way. Funding for the as yet nameless project came in the form of financial aid from Spyrppoulos's uncle Markos III and a deal was put together with the US based Metromedia label. Metromedia promptly went bust creating a genuine Nirvana collectors item on the spot.
The record is in near mint condition. The front of the cover shows significant signs of wear in the form of heavy creasing. However, there are no tears on the cover or the spine and the back of the cover remains in good condition considering the age of this item. The inner cover remains in very good condition with only light signs of wear. The item comes housed in its own protective plastic sleeve.
