Description
Monstrously rare New Zealand progressive hard rock album by Ticket, hugely and rightly sought after along with Spacefarm, Taylor, Serenity, Mantis etc – this is the first, original, Down Under New Zealand pressing in the classic ‘flipback’ laminated sleeve. This is truly one of the hardest rock albums from Australia or NZ from this period, and in keeping with NZ being just that bit more hidden at times which allowed for some truly unique music to come from their shores during this time. This sold in tiny quantities at the time – it is the perfect mix of being rare in numbers, and rare in quality – a must for progressive rock fans the world over. It has several bases covered, prog, hard-rock, acid-rock and psych flourishes at times, if ever a cover was representative of what’s inside, then the stunning artwork does the trick here – this album is the real deal, a huge beast! – its progressive in the best sense, taking the best of the era and pushing it further, this is an important rock document that was meant to blow your mind….
Ticket, original, first Edition NZ pressing:
Cover ~ EX+ ~ in top shape, front graphics shine, glossy laminate intact, tight corners and seams display only the most minimal wear, some very mild ring wear also evident, a very small stain on front will likely come off easily
Vinyl ~ VG+ ~ nice gloss and sheen still evident but has been played, displays hairlines and other fine scratches, as well as several more notable, but these are all ‘soft’, entirely superficial and don’t tick or jump at all, there is mild static in the softer passages but nothing that interferes with the music at all ~ a very rare record at a good price!
Labels in excellent condition.
There is also the original insert! Please see photos. When this original edition record is ever on sale the insert is rarely included.
As always hassle free returns and money back, if you are unhappy in any way please email me. I’m an avid collector I try my best to list accurately, play graded and graded under strong light, please leave feedback after, cheers!
