Description
SLADE .. SLADE ALIVE .. VERY EARLY OR FIRST UK PRESSING ON POLYDOR MATRIX A2/B2 UNPLAYED 1972 WITH THE E. J. DAY GATEFOLD
RARE CHANCE TO OBTAIN AN UNPLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM OF THE BRITISH GLAMROCK WAVES MOST BARNSTORMING AND HARD WORKING BAND .. NO OTHER BAND QUITE SUMS UP THE EARLY 1970'S POP ROCK SCENE THE WAY SLADE DO .. STILL SO CONPULSIVE, THEIR GRINDING TONE JUST WAKES UP THE NOSTALGIC SENSES IN A FEW MOMENTS.
THE LP IS CLOSE TO BEST IT COULD BE. ALBUM IS UNPLAYED AND LACKS ANY KIND OF MARK OTHER THAN MICRO THAT NEEDS TO BE SEEN UNDER STRICT LIGHT AND A MAGNIFIER .. THEY ARE WITHDRAWAL ALMOST INVISIBLE AND PRESENT OFTEN ON NEW RECORDS. THE COVER IS EX EX ( MAYBE A GNATS MORE ) .. IT IS JUST UNDER MINT BY A FEW DEGREES AND AGAIN THIS IS FOR THE SAKE OF STRICTNESS AND THE VERY SMALL NIGH INVISIBLE. SUFFICE IT TO SAY, BUYERS CAN BE ASSURED THAT THIS EXAMPLE IS TRULY EXCEPTIONAL AND WILL PLEASE THE TOP CONDITION COLLECTOR .. NOT TO BE MISSED AS THERE ARE VERY VERY FEW OF THIS ALBUM AROUND LIKE THIS.
WORTH NOTING THAT THERE REMAINS SOME CONFUSION ON THE SUBJECT OF POLYDOR OVER THE MATRIX NUMBERS AND PUBLISHING MATTERS .. BEING IN THE E. J. DAY GATEFOLD SHOULD MAKE THIS SIMPLY UK FIRST PRESS BUT THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE HAZINESS AROUND THE PUBLISHING RECORDS ON THIS DISC. SOME ARE DOWN AS GERMAN APPARENTLY WHEN THEY WERE MADE IN ENGLAND, CONFUSED STAMPINGS ETC .. THIS ONE SHOULD BE SAFE TO ASSUME AS A UK FIRST BY VIRTUE OF ITS COVER ORIGINATION. .. NOT TO BE MISSED.
POSTAGE UK FREE .. EUROPE .. 4.50 .. WORLD .. 6.50 .. HEAVY DUTY PACKING .. DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLES
