 BACILLUS

 BDA 7502 Q

1st GERMANY 1973

STEREO/QUADROPHONIC


KROKODIL ''SWEAT AND SWIM'  RAREST EVER TO FIND, ORIGINAL BACILLUS LABEL! IT IS BELIEVED THAT JUST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND WERE PRESSED ON THIS LABEL, IT IS NOW REGARDED AS A CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE ERA!  AWESOME 1st PRESS GATEFOLD COVER!! GREAT AUDIO THROUGHOUT!!! 


Vinyl: EX++ . Stunning deep glossy and heavy vinyls. A barely played example with nothing untoward, actually only just lightly played. No marks or hairlines (just one wispiest trace hairline on side 1). This is a tasty rare vinyl indeed, barely spotted in    the marketplace these days. I subjected the record to a detailed listen on my high end system (Linn Sondek/Arcam/B&W) and it sounded just great.  Lovely replay without any distortion and barely any crackle. A bit of static at the beginning few seconds which will improve vastly with a clean. No sticks or jumps.

Gatefold sleeve: VG.    Matt gatefold sleeve with only light storage wear. On account of a couple of stickers and a bit of reinforcement tape, I am grading this VG. Great spine and opening and inside gatefold. This album by the Swiss Kraut/Prog band is super rare and this is the only time I have ever come across it in 35 years.


This is a unique investment opportunity!!!  Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. It is a fantastic example of a crossover between psych, prog and heavy metal. Treads similar territory like Budgie. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

 

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 30.00.  In the UK, if over £100.00 this will be sent special delivery. Please wait for an amended invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me. To Italy I will only send parcels by special courier. This will typically be around £23.00. I have had bad experiences lately where parcels got stuck at customs for months using normal airmail.


No sales at this time to Italy or Russia.


 

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!


 

 

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
