COMMENTS:  Possibly the rarest, and certainly one of the greatest ever Australian progressive rock albums.  Released in 1976 as a private pressing, Malaysian-born Leong Lau produces a searing funk-rock-progressive-psych-jazz album laden with wah-wah and fuzz guitar but intermixed with flute, sax, cornet and harmonica!!  This is an original pressing with fold-out poster.  Cover has some lifting of the lamination and a few creases, while the poster, labels, and disc are all EX.
PLEASE NOTE: I am being forced to sell off much of my own personal collection of rare lps and 45s, as well as high-end stereo equipment due to contamination of all my shop stock by a third-party, which has temporarily put me out of business.  In order to maintain the continuation of The Velvet Fog, I must let much of my private stock go until this matter is finally resolved.
GRADINGS: NM- cover still in shrink-wrap/unplayed record; EX perfect in most respects, minor faults only/few, if any, audible defects; VG+ good in most respects, any issues will be described; VG has visible and audible defects (scratches, tears, ringwear, etc) which will be described in full detail.
