Omega Red Star - From Hungary

If you are reading this you probably already know about this record.
But if for some reason you are unaware of it, this is the UK release on Decca of Hungarian band Omega Red Star (later just Omega) recorded when they were in Britain in 1968. With English lyrics, sung by their bassist as their singer hadn't been able to leave the country for the tour, this is at times psychedelic, at times progressive with good amounts of exotic 'eastern' flavours.
Not pressed in any great numbers and not sold overseas.
This is the Mono first pressing - cat. number LK4974

LP - in EX condition - no scratches or marks
COVER - VG+ some cresses to the edges, and light staining on the reserves (see photo). No tears or rips and no writing

Happy to answer any questions.
I do not sell to Italy, Russia or Brazil

Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
  VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
  BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
