HAWKWIND
THIS IS A RARE FRENCH 1ST PRESS. THE VINYL WAS PRESSED IN FRANCE, BUT THEY USED THE EARLIEST UK MULTI FOLD OUT UK GATEFOLD, AND ALSO THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSES, AS IT CONTAINS THE UK LOG BOOK, WHICH IS ONLY FOUND IN THE EARLIEST UK PRESSES, AND VERY EARLY FRENCH PRESSES, AND THE GREAT NEWS THIS IS FULLY COMPLETE AND PLAYS AWESOME !!!!!
PLAYS AMAZING WITH SUPERB EX/EX+ AUDIO, THAT CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT, AND WITH AUDIO LIKE THIS THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP !!!!
THIS IS HAWKWIND WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1969, AND ARE ONE OF THE FIRST SPACE ROCK BANDS. THIS IS THEIR 2nd ALBUM AND RELEASED ON 8th OCTOBER 1971, AND PLAYS AMAZING, AS IT COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 FRENCH 1ST PRESS  ::  UAG 29202   A2  ::  UAG 29202  B1 .
ON THE UNITED ARTISTS LABEL  ::  UAG 29202 .

COVER ::  ALTHOUGH THE VINYL IS PRESSED IN FRANCE, THEY USED AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS MULTI FOLD OUT GATEFOLD, WHICH WAS PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E.J.DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH A SMALL LIGHT RUB IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THE DIE CUT GATEFOLD OPENING EDGES ARE IN LOVELY CONTION, WITH JUST A SMALL CREASE LINE ON ONE OF THE CUT OUTS, NOTHING SERIOUS !!!! THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND INSIDE THE FOLD OUT GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX- .  

VINYL ::  THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB, AND YOU CAN NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UK 1ST PRESS, AND THIS FRENCH 1ST PRESS. HARD TO FIND HAWKWIND VINYLS WITH GREAT AUDIO BUT THIS IS ONE OF THEM. ALL I HEARD WAS A LIGHT TICK AT THE VERY START, AND TWO FAINT TICKS A LITTLE FURTHER IN ON TRACK 1, ON SIDE 1, AND THAT'S ALL !

VISUALLY, AGAIN NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS THE VINYL STILLS HOLDS A LOVELY SHINE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, SO GREAT VINYL AS WELL !!!!

NOW FOR THAT ALL IMPORTANT AUDIO GRADE, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ .  BUT SO MUCH NEARER TO EX+ !!!!

LABELS :: LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, WITH JUST A FEW VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL LOG BOOK ::  THIS IS ALSO MADE IN THE UK THE SAME AS THE COVER, AND WAS ONLY FOUND IN THE VERY EARLIEST FRENCH PRESSES. ALTHOUGH FULLY COMPLETE WITH NO WRITING THERE IS SOME CREASING ON THE PAGES, AND THE FIRST COUPLE OF PAGES, AND THE BACK PAGE HAVE A COUPLE OF TINY NIBBLE MARKS ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THIS IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE, BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GRADE  :: GOOD .

ORIGINAL INNER ::  NO SPLITS OR WRITING, WITH JUST A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: VG .

YES AN AWESOME ALBUM, AND OUTSTANDING AUDIO, AND A LOVELY COVER, SHAME ABOUT THE LOG BOOK, BUT IT IS FULLY COMPLETE AND READABLE. THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER SPACE ROCK ALBUMS EVER RELEASED !!!! 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 !

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
