ESPERS: II, RARE US ACID/FOLK/PSYCH WITH ULTRA RARE PROMO POSTER
Their remarkable acid/folk albums has left an imprint on many and can easily compare to the best folk/psych albums from the 60’s and 70’s. All four albums are full of gorgeous music, with II having a more darkly and  experimental acid sound and III being maybe more approachable going towards a pastoral, traditionally Brit-folk sound.  Beautiful male and female vocals, psychedelic guitars, cellos, flute, dulcimer, chimes are all creating dark wispy, atmospheric soundscapes. Highly recommended    
This is their third album, US original pressing on Drag City, sealed but included is the ULTRA rare huge promo poster, which where only distributed to a few record stores. Poster is perfect

Please see my  and auctions for more psych, prog, rock, garage, punk, folk, acid, funk, Vertigo albums

Condition (cover/vinyl): SS Label and year of release:  Drag City, US 2006


GRADING There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is over graded, so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For play grading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Koetsu Black MC cartridge. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is of course a moneyback warranty. 
M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times. EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or cover wear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX  VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans. VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear. VG: This is a worn copy and I will only sell items with this grading or lower if they are very rare.
