Description
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 8000 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEVER OPENED ... STILL FACTORY SEALED
Original 1972 first pressing in phantasy art gatefold cover ... an epic progressive by Uriah Heep at the peak of their popularity...
Uriah Heep had its origin in 1967, in a small band, with no real goal, just to play together and have some fun. Soon however they started having serious musical aspirations, as such they quit their jobs and went pro, at the time under the name "Spice". They started getting a good reputation and had gigs in the famous Marquee club in London, where they were spotted and quickly signed to the Vertigo Records. They soon found themselves in a studio for recording, and it was then that they changed their name to Uriah Heep. Nearly 3 years later The mighty HEEP had no less than 5 albums and were headliningand packing them in at large auditoriums. Uriah Heep's The Magician's Birthday LP was issued just six, short months following the release of the Demons and Wizards album.With progressive-rock styling versus the harder edged Demons and Wizards, The Magician's Birthday follows a loose concept, based on a plot dreamed-up by Hensley. The title track, Magicians Birthday, tracks in at over ten-minutes, being an atmospheric candle-blowing closing epic that summarizes the fantasy storyline, while adding an extended guitar solo by the great Uriah Heep guitarist, Mick Box. The Magician's Birthday also features strong tracks like "Spider Woman" & "Blind Eye", plus the lavish "Rain", and "Tales". "Sunrise" is hard rock ballad masterpriece, with excellent melody and dominating, strong guitar...
