HAIZEA: HONTZ GAUA, COSMIC FOLK PSYCH NM
Ultra rare original copy of Spanish/Basque folk/psych masterpiece with the BOOKLET
Really great copy of this magnificent album both cover and vinyl has a minimum of wear. To these ears this is one of the holy grails of European folk/psych in the same league as the Carol of Harvest and the Emtidi albums. Superb deep mystical cosmic folk psych recorded in super HIFI quality with a crystal clear sound. Strange percussion, echoed guitars, cellos, flute and stunning female vocals with long tracks. As Dag Erik Asbjørnsen, author of the "Scented Gardens of the Mind" puts it: "Hontz Gaua simply gorgeous, on of the best progressive folk albums in the whole Europe. The Basque group is little known but deserves wide acclaim for this work of art!" This is offered very seldom on eBay, so this is your chance to grab this ultra rare album while it is still around... Gets a R4 rating in Pokoras 2001 book, and voted as a musical masterpiece by the author.
Cover is great close to mint, but has some discoloration on the inside of the gatefold. The vinyl is near mint, but one label is a little bubbly, so down graded to EX. The rare booklet is EX, with a pen mark on the back and on the front paper has an small cut, nothing bad

Condition (cover/vinyl): EX,EX Label and year of release: XOXOA, Spain 1979
GRADING There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is over graded, so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For play grading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Koetsu Black MC cartridge. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is of course a moneyback warranty.
M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times. EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or cover wear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans. VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear. VG: This is a worn copy and I will only sell items with this grading or lower if they are very rare.
