PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 17,000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SOLID COLLECTION COPY

Ages old 1970 FIRST PRINTING in striking gatefold cover ... the very first and probable best URIAH HEEP album with completely different cover to the UK issue and different track listing as well!

Includes also the scarce original printed inner sleeve

       

The very first and one of the best, Uriah Heep albums -- a progressive hard psych mix that delivers a melodic attack of gushing organ and ripping guitar... very theatrical dynamic arrangements throughout are a plus for collector fans....

............................................................................

The mighty HEEP 1st has heavy moments, gentle moments and harsh blues and lots of doomy atmospherics. Great variation of different kind of tracks. The ultimate HEAVY classic with the nifty prog-rock intro and introducing the patented Heep banshee harmonies complete with wild breakout organ solo, wailing slide guitar and moody atmospherics.

(A-1) Awesome dark & doomy cruncher "Gypsy" starts the album at 6:34

(A-2) Walking in your Shadow: Cool heavy riff, great guitar tone. An underated classic

(A-3) Come away Melinda: Leaning a bit towards the errie side, still a nice ballad.

(A-4) Bird Of Prey - hard'n'heavy dark blues cool heaviness

(superior non U.K. LP track!)

(B-1) Dreammare - An excellent heavy rock stomper featuring a great guitar solo. Tops!

(B-2) Real Turned On - Another hard riff based heavy featuring lots of juicy slide guitar

B-3) I'll keep on Trying - Good one with a nice meaty emotive guitar solo.

B-4) Wake up (Set your sights) Hard Heep classic ripper...not a bad way to spend 6:22

CONDITION: The cover:  The cool gatefold is solid, rated near M- with no seam splits, no bends, no writing anywhere ~ looks like and IS a great addition to the music library collection of early 70's heavy rock and/or prog or both!

The vinyl: Rated: M- plays with very enjoyable audio  ...play back will not contain alarming surface problems ...  both red Mercury labels are clean
