HAWKWIND
1ST ALBUM SELF TITLED !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, THIS IS NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIST, ALTHOUGH IT PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, AND NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS. IT IS A BIT LIKE A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING, AND PLAYS BETTER THAN IT LOOKS. OF COURSE IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU SEE AND READ THEN YOU WILL BE PLEASED IF YOU WIN, THANK YOU, ROSE.

THIS IS HAWKWIND WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1969, AND ARE ONE OF THE FIRST SPACE ROCK BANDS. THIS IS THEIR 1ST AND DEBUT ALBUM AND RELEASED IN 1970, AND AS MENTIONED PLAYS WITH NO SERIOUS ISSUES, AND STILL A GREAT LISTEN !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 197O UK PRESS  ::  LBS 83348  A-2U  ::  LBS 83348  B-2U .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH EARLY STAMPERS  :: 1  GP  :: 1  RG .

ON THE UNITED ARTISTS LABEL  ::  UAG 29766 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL GATEFOLD PRINTED AND MADE BY E.J.DAY Ltd, AND IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO RUB OR WEAR ON THE SPINE OR EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND JUST A COUPLE OF VERY TINY WHITE MARKS ON THE BACK BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I THINK IT GRADES A BIT BETTER THAN EXCELLENT, SO I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX+ .

VINYL ::  THE AUDIO PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH NO STICKS, JUMPS, SKIPS, OR CRACKLE, AND I WILL GIVE A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION TO GIVE YOU THE BEST AND FAIREST AUDIO GRADE POSSIBLE >>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: THERE IS A BIT OF LIGHT STATIC ON THE RUN IN AND AT VERY START. THEN A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS .

BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 2 :: THERE ARE NINE FAINT TICKS AT THE START ON THE INTRO .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: THERE ARE FOUR FAINT POPS TOWARDS THE END .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

TRACK 2 :: THERE ARE FIVE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, THEN TWO MORE A LITTLE FURTHER IN, AND IN THE MIDDLE THE ODD FAINT TICK .

TWO LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 3 :: FOUR FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .

NOW IT ALL SEEMS A LOT, BUT NOT THAT MUCH REALLY, AND THERE IS NOTHING REALLY INTRUSIVE, SO STILL VERY ENJOYABLE, BUT IT DOES PLAY AS DESCRIBED, AND IT WILL NOT TURN INTO A MINTY IN THE POST BY THE VINYL FAIRIES, BUT IT WOULD BE A NICE THOUGHT.

NOW VISUALLY, AS MENTIONED NOT THE BEST, AND SIDE 1 HAS A COUPLE OF SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARKS WHICH I WILL NOW EXPLAIN. THERE IS A TINY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE ONE AT THE START, AND ANOTHER AT THE END OF TRACK 1. THERE IS ONE AT THE START, AND A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE THIN LINE ON THE SECOND HALF ON TRACK 2. THERE IS A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE THIN LINE FOR JUST UNDER THE FIRST HALF OF TRACK 3.  SIDE 2 HAS NOTHING FEELABLE. BOTH SIDES HAVE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW VARIOUS LENGTH COSMETIC FINE HAIRLINES, WHICH SHOW UP MORE UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, SO IT DOES PLAY BETTER THAN IT LOOKS !!!! I PLAYED IT THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES AND ENJOYED IT, AND DID NOT THINK OF TAKING IT OFF BECAUSE IT PLAYED BAD. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE AUDIO GRADE IS A NIGHTMARE, BUT OVER ALL I THINK IT PLAYS VERY WELL, AND WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG/VG+ .   JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE !!!!

LABELS :: LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNER ::  NO SPLITS OR WRITING, WITH JUST A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING  :: VG/VG+ .

YES AN AWESOME ALBUM, AND A WONDERFUL COVER, WITH VERY NICE AUDIO THAT PLAYS WELL, WITH SOME ODDS BITS GOING ON AS MENTIONED ABOVE. AS I SADI IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE LISTING AND DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL BE PLEASED, BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TOP PLAYING VINYL, THIS WILL NOT BE FOR YOU !!!!
