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.
