Description
HEAVY PROG MONSTER!!
TOAD - TOAD
Super Rare TRUE original first pressing..
Released in Switzerland on "HALLELUJAH"
Rarely does this record turn up for sale and when it does it's usually the later UK release on RCA.. The Swiss HALLELUJAH release is much rarer and more desirable due to its limited pressing and it being the country of origin for the band TOAD.
A TRUE MONSTER.. not only is this a really rare record but it also is a pure beast.. meaning it actually sounds as good as you expect..it's not a duff band..heavy and clever song writing!! Top top band!!
As ever the sleeve shows the usual storage/ring wear associated with this record; but over all is very good.
Inside gatefold is excellent! Some very light wear.
Very loud and clear Pressing!!
*Professionally cleaned on a Moth mk2 Pro and play tested on a Rega RP8.
Vinyl still retains its beautiful iridescent lustre.
There are some light hairlines and some rubs to the vinyl but no deep feel-able scratches that effect playback.. playback is very loud!
Side one has some crackling at the start and end of the record (run in & run out) can also be heard on the very quiet ending of the last track on side 1 that leads into the run out.
Side two has the crackle again on the run in and run out but otherwise is great.
No skipping or clicks on either side just a bit of crackle (as stated)
As I always say vintage Records would always benefit from a professional clean.
Labels are both bright and clean!
Some light spindle wear can be seen when caught in the light but otherwise very good!
Super Rare and desirable..especially in this condition. There's a reason why this record is wanted so badly..it's because it's f***ing AWESOME!
I post worldwide and combine on postage... any questions please ask.
