Vinyl EX- , Sleeve EX
Don't miss this opportunity to own one of the finest 1972 CLASSIC PROG ROCK Albums of all time.
Demons and Wizards is the fourth album released by British rock band Uriah Heep. The album helped the band break to fame and also gave the band its face. It has become a major success worldwide by selling 3 million copies.
The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, the front of which was designed by Roger Dean and contains a hidden erotic image of male and female genitalia. The inner of the gatefold had pictures of the band and notes by Ken Hensley.
"The Wizard"
"Traveller in Time"
"Easy Livin'"
"Poet's Justice"
"Circle of Hands"
"Rainbow Demon"
"All My Life"
"Paradise"
"The Spell"
The VINYL is in EX- condition. (there are some visable surface marks under strong light but they do not affect play at all despite the odd crackle here and there in the quieter passages. This is a superb piece of PROG ROCK)
The GATEFOLD SLEEVE sleeve is in EX condition. (some shelfwear see photos)
Catalogue Number - ILPS 9193
Matrix Numbers - A-1U / B-1U

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS , PLEASE ASK ME , YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED
All records are professionally cleaned using a MOTH cleaning system prior to despatch. Not only does this wet clean/vacuuming process remove surface marks such as fingerprints, etc, it also significantly reduces background noise and many argue that the lower noise floor results in opening up of the sound and improved fidelity.
A word about hairline marks. It is almost impossible to find any non-sealed record without any hairline marks - many had them from new, particularly if sold with cardboard inner sleeves. They are a result of storage and use and have little impact on sound quality.
I package my records in the strongest purpose made mailers for maximum safety.
All records are removed from their picture sleeves where appropriate and posted in a separate plain white inner to avoid damage during transit.
The following is the scale I use to grade my records , please buy with confidence.
MINT:
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks
or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition.
Records advertised as sealed or un-played should be mint.
EXCELLENT:
The record shows some signs of having been played,
but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The vinyl may have some hairline surface scuffs which will be only slightly visible.
The cover and packaging might have minor wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD:
The record has obviously been played many times,
but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,
despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items,
is acceptable.
GOOD:
The record has been played so much
that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated.
perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover suffers from folding, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
POSTAGE and DISCOUNTS:
UK Orders - Please add 1.25 UKP for each additional LP purchased (doubles count as 2)
International Orders - Please add 2.5 UKP for each additional LP purchased (doubles count as 2). I prefer to send Internationsal orders 'international signed for' to ensure that all orders arrive at their destination safely.
THE MORE YOU BUY , THE MORE YOU SAVE
"European" Example of Postage Discount (Recorded Delivery) -
1 LP's Won = 12.5 Shipping per LP (12.50)
2 LP's Won = Only 7.50 Shipping per LP (15.00)
3 LP's Won = Only 5.84 Shipping per LP (17.50)
4 LP's Won = Only 5.00 Shipping per LP (20.00)
5 LP's Won = Only 4.50 Shipping per LP (22.50)
This calculation does not apply to orders over 2kg in weight (5 lp's is usually just under 2kg). Orders over 2kg in weight may have to be split into 2 or more packages to ensure shipping is as cost effective as possible.
For multiple purchases , PLEASE WAIT for me to send you a combined postage invoice at the end of the auction day BEFORE making payment otherwise you will end up paying me more postage than is required as postage discounts have to be manually applied.
