ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!

HERE IS A 1971 1ST PRESSING OF AN ALBUM BY PALADIN. THE BAND'S SELF TITLED DEBUT LP  ISSUED ON THE BRONZE LABEL WITH THE ISLAND "i" RIM LOGOS.ILPS 9150 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A-1/B-1 MATRIXES.

MUSICALLY SUPERB WITH SWIRLING HAMMOND ORGAN,GREAT GUITARWORK AND ONE INSTRUMENTAL TRACK HAS AN IMPRESSIVE DRUM SOLO! THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION,SALES OR ATTENTION FOR THIS LP WHICH FAILED TO CHART AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE. RARELY SEEN 43 YEARS ON!

THICK VINYL UNLIKE LATER THINNER VINYL REPRESSES.LOTS OF BASS!  THE DISC HAS A FEW SMALL AND SEMI-FAINT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THERE ARE NO NASTY CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS AND IS VERY STRICTLY GRADED IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION!   

CLEAN LABELS! HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DIE CUT BLACK INNER SLEEVE AND THE TEXTURED EFFECT GATEFOLD COVER WHICH HAS SOME EDGE CREASES,SOME EDGE WEAR AND SOME SLIGHT RING WEAR STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

 A VERY LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind! Most that were buying albums in 1971 were usually using dreadful equipment! 

An ideal opportunity to add a rare album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
