TIME TO HAVE SOME MORE 70's ROCK, AND OF COURSE MORE URIAH HEEP. FORMED IN LONDON IN 1969, AND THIS IS THEIR 5th ALBUM,RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 1st 1972 !!!! THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, AND OF COURSE 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  1972 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  ILPS 9213  A-1> ( THE 'U' IS ON ITS SIDE) 'G KONG'  ::  ILPS 9213  B-1U  'G KONG' .
ON THE BRONZE LABEL :: ILPS 9213 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, WITH THE SPINE AND EDGES IN SUPERB CONDITION, JUST A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS. THERE ARE THREE LIGHT SCUFF MARKS ON THE FRONT AND SOUND A LOT WORSE THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, THE BACK HAS A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- . 

VINYL ::  THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, AND WITH A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS, I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK DESCRIPTION, TO GIVE YOU THE BEST AUDIO DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE >

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A TINY BIT OF LIGHT STATIC ON THE DEAD WAX RUN IN .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: HAS TWO VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 5 :: HAS A LIGHT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS, THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START, THREE MORE A LITTLE FURTHER IN, AND ANOTHER THREE IN THE MIDDLE .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 3 :: HAS A LIGHT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

NO STATIC OR CRACKLE !!!

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

TRACK 4 ON SIDE 1, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG+ .

THE REST OF SIDE 1 AND ALL OF SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ . 

LABELS ::  LOVELY CONDITION :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL HARD TO FIND LYRIC INNER ::  WITH NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST A SMALL TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE IN TOP LEFT CORNER, AND SOME AGEING :: VG .  

THIS PLAYS VERY WELL, AND AS MENTIONED IT IS ONLY TRACK FOR OF ANY NOTE. VERY NICE SOLID ORIGINAL GATEFOLD AND ORIGINAL HARD TO FIND LYRIC INNER !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
