Bell & Arc 1971 UK 1st LP Charisma pink scroll CAS 1053 G/F A-1U B-1U prog EX/EX
Super copy of this 1971 self-titled debut by progressive act Bell & Arc on the Charisma 'pink scroll' label. Looks to be a UK first pressing judging by the A-1U / B-1U matrices.
The fully laminated gatefold sleeve is in top condition – just a tiny bit of surface loss at the bottom of the centrefold but otherwise it's remarkably free from wear of any kind.
The vinyl is bright and glossy and plays very well. A couple of minor hairlines but nothing notable that impacts the audio – it's survived more than 50 years incredibly well.
Plain white inner sleeve in excellent condition.
Excellent pink scroll labels.
Not many copies of this around these days, especially in this condition.
