Description

Hard progressive-psychedelic rock from Iceland. Icecross is a progressive rock band formed in Iceland in 1972 by musicians Axel Einarsson and Ásgeir Óskarsson, later adding Ómar Óskarsson as a bassist. This is the band's first and only LP released in 1973. The album was recorded in Rosenburg Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark but issued in Iceland only. Just 1.000 copies were made! All tracks are self-composed and sung in English. Side one: 1. Wandering Around, 2. Solution, 3. A Sad Man´s Story, 4. Jesus Freaks. Side two: 1. 1999, 2. Scared, 3. Nightmare, 4. The End.

This is the original first pressing... the holy grail! Issued by Icecross Records in 1973. Catalogue number: IC 534753. Matrix: IC 534753 A / IC 534753 B. Dead Wax: IC 534753 A-2 R/ IC 534753 B-1 R. Unlaminated cover, pressing is normal thick. This is the real deal!

You can listen to some of the songs on the album on youtube.

Cover: EX/EX+ (Still has the original shrink wrap (most of it). Please look at the pictures to make your own assessment. The cover really looks superb).

Record: EX+/NM (Not much to say about this grading, just looks and sounds perfect. Shiny and beautiful and almost looks as if never or very rarely played).

Labels: EX/EX+ (Look very nice, clean).

This record is a true collectores item, a real gem. This is one the the most sought after, rare and expensive Icelandic record out there (along with Svanfríður, Óðmenn and a few others). I have seen a few Icecross copies over the years but none that comes close to looking as good as this one.

Shipping is US $15 worldwide (please ignore the US $4 for the United States).

PayPal only.

Happy bidding!
