Description
ORIGINAL copy of the very rare Thor's Hammer's Umbarumbamba 2x7" EP in a gatefold sleeve. Probably the most sought after Icelandic record and a very rarely seen thing on the market, especially in as good condition as this item is in.
The dbl-EP was sold in Iceland in 1966 with the two 7"s inside the gatefolds without inner sleeves. There are four songs on the actual "soundtrack" 7" to the short film Umbarumbamba (a gigantic flop. The film hasn't been seen since 1966!) and two songs on the extra 7".
All 4 sides are in MINT condition and have been played once-twice at the most!
Gatefold sleeve is in VG+ condition with minimum edge wear and light ring wear.
From the Thor's Hammer Wikipage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor's_Hammer_(band) --> Thor's Hammer, or Hljómar (their Icelandic name), was an Icelandic rock band primarily active in the 1960s. Outside of Iceland, they are known among music collectors for their rare releases on Parlophone, sung in English and recorded in London for export. The most famous of these is the 1966 EP Umbarumbamba, regarded as one of the rarest released records in the world and known to fetch prices into the thousands of dollars when a copy surfaces. Their style can be described as garage rock, fuzz rock, and freakbeat, with noticeable influences from both The Who and The Beatles.
Postage is to be decided upon after the bidding is over so the postage prices listed are not right. I will post worldwide.
Feel free to ask me any question you have about this record.
