WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME WE HAD SOME MORE BUDGIE, WHO WERE A HEAVY METAL HARD ROCK BAND FROM CARDIFF IN WALES, SO NOT FAR AWAY FROM ME. THEY HAD A MASSIVE INFLUENCE, ON THE NEW BRITISH HEAVY METAL BANDS, AND ALSO THRASH METAL BANDS SUCH AS, METALLICA, WHO DID A FEW COVERS OF BUDGIE TRACKS, AND IF THOUGHT, "BREADFAN" WAS AN ORIGINAL METALLICA TRACK, WELL YOU WOULD BE WRONG, AS IT IS ACTUALLY A BUDGIE TRACK, AND GOOD NEWS IT IS ON THE ALBUM LISTED BELOW. THIS WAS A BIG DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, BUT HERE IT IS, AND COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
I WILL BE AWAY ON THURSDAY 3rd AUGUST UNTIL THURSDAY 10th AUGUST, THERE WILL BE NO ONE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, SORRY 😥. IF YOU NEED SHIPPING PRICES, PLEASE LOOK AT THE MAIN BIG PHOTO AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING, AND BOTTOM RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE...POSTAGE : AND TO THE RIGHT, CLICK ON 'See details'.

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1973  UK 1ST PRESS  ::  7-LNMG-277-2L   ::  7-LNMG-278-1L .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER, AND VERY EARLY STAMPERS ::  1  BU  ::  1  M . 

ON THE 1ST PRESS MCA BLACK LABEL  ::  MDKS 8010 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL GATEFOLD, DESIGNED BY ROGER DEAN, PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE & Co Ltd. BEAUTIFUL SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, JUST LITERALLY A COUPLE OF TINY SPOTS OF VERY FAINT RUB, ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, NOTHING AT ALL TO WORRY ABOUT !!!! THERE IS A TINY RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND ON THE BACK A BIT OF WRITING TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND A BIT OF FAINT RING WEAR ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM SEEN WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD HAVE GRADED EX/EX-, BUT WITH THAT BIT OF WRITING AS MENTIONED, I WILL HAVE TO GRADE A VERY NICE SOLID ORIGINAL :: VG+ .  

VINYL :: PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, NO POPS, TICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE SO OUTSTANDING AUDIO !!!! 

VISUALLY LOVELY LOOKING VINYL AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT VERY NICE AS WELL, JUST A FEW VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A VERY TINY MARK ON THE RUN OFFS ON SIDE 1, WHERE YOU CAN HEAR ONE CLICK. THE LAST TRACK HAS ENDED SO IT IS HEARD WHEN IN THE DEAD WAX RUN OFF, SO NOT ON THE AUDIO, SO THIS AUDIO WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO BETTER, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO, AN OUTSTANDING :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS ::  NO ISSUES, BEAUTIFUL :: EX+ .    

ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER ::  NO SPLITS, WITH SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, A TINY BIT OF PAPER LOSS, TOP RIGHT CORNER ON ONE SIDE, PLEASE SEE PHOTO. ALSO A BIT OF WRITING TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A BEAUTIFUL VERY SIMILAR POLYLINED INNER, FROM 1974, ALONG WITH THE 1973 ORIGINAL LISTED ABOVE :: VG/VG+ .
