SPLIT GROUNDHOGS
1971 UK 1ST PRESS WITH SUPERB EX BLUES ROCK AUDIO !!!!
THIS IS THE AMAZING GROUNDHOGS WHO WERE FORMED IN ENGLAND IN 1963, AND THIS THEIR 4th BRILLIANT BRITISH BLUES ALBUM RELEASED IN MARCH 1971. I MUST POINT OUT THE AUDIO HAS A FEW FAINT TICKS WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, SO IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A TOP PLAYING COPY THEN THIS WILLL NOT BE FOR YOU, BUT IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL BE PLEASED WHEN YOU PLAY IT. THERE IS NOTHING NASTY, AND I ENJOYED IT FROM STARET TO FINISH, AND IT COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHIP AS USUAL. IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE .  
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST :: LBG 83401  A-1U  ::  LBG 83401  B-1U .

ON THE BLACK BLUE AND YELLOW LIBERTY LABEL :: LBS 83401 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS AND FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E.J DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH NO RUB AND IN GREAT CONDITION. THERE IS NO LAMINATE, JUST SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR ON THE BACK, SEEN WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE IS NOTHING TO REPORT AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG+/EX- .   

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, SO NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE, AND NO STICKS, SKIPS OR JUMPS. TO GIVE YOU A MUCH BETTER IDEA HOW IT PLAYS I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION >>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND A TICK TOWARDS THE END .

TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS FOUR FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 4 :: HAS A TINY BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START AND FOUR FAINT TICKS, AND TWO FAINT TICKS A BIT FURTHER ON, AND TWO SOFT POPS AT THE END .

ALL SOUNDS A LOT BUT IT IS NOT MUCH REALLY AND THERE IS NOTHING VERY LOUD OR INTRUSIVE TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE, AND AS I SAID EARLIER, I ENJOYED THE WHOLE ALBUM AND THE AUDIO. NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME VARIOUS SIZED COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WHICH I CAN ASSURE YOU ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THERE ARE ALSO TWO SMALL COSMETIC SCUFF LINES CLOSE TOGETHER ON SIDE 2, AND AGAIN NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. SO STILL VERY NICE ENJOYABLE VINYL, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX- . NEARER TO EX, RATHER THAN EX- !!!!

LABELS   :: JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS, JUST  SOME MODERATE AGEING. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: VG . 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, ANOTHER BRILLIANT BRITISH BLUES ALBUM, THAT PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH NO ISSUES AND COMES IN THE ORIGINAL INNER AND FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD !!!! THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETICS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT WHICH HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL THING UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME, ROSE !!!!

ONE FINAL THING, ON MY VINYLS THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES, BECAUSE SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE, AS YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU HAVE A CAT, AND WILL BADLY AFFECT THE AUDIO, AND IF THERE WERE ANY I WOULD SAY. THEY MIGHT LOOK LIKE SCRATCHES IN A PHOTO, BUT THEY REALLY ARE HARMLESS COSMETICS, THANK YOU AGAIN ROSE.
