So, so hard to find, Monument's  only album. Monument were the next incarnation of ZIOR, a band in the vein of Black Widow and Black Sabbath who meddled with occult themes like Black Magic, witchcraft and sacrifice. I am very happy to be able to present this fantastic and ULTRA rare album. This will be a great first acquisition for the discerning prog collector!!! The vinyl looks superb and is in EX condition.

 IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN IN THIS SPLENDID CONDITION WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL LP RARITY FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! A FANTASTIC ALBUM BY MONUMENT,  GREAT CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP, BUT MOST CERTAINLY NOT TO EVERYONE'S TASTE . A MUST FOR ANY PROG COLLECTOR.

Vinyl: EX.  This has only had very little play!! The vinyl vastly exceeds the quality you would have expected judging from the sleeve. One wispy small hairline on side 2, which has no audio impact at all. The replay is fantastic and this vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic album that went largely unnoticed with poor distribution. Only a few hundred were ever pressed on this tiny, very collectible label. The audio has beautiful separation and there is barely any background noise. I played this in full and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Under a strong light source a few light wispy paper retraction traces are visible. In normal daylight it looks totally flawless. Played in its entirety on my Linn Sondek/ Rotel/B&W set-up. Needless to say NO jumps, sticks, clicks or ticks. The audio of this recording is simply outstanding and will be an upgrade to most collectors. Wow!!

  Sleeve: VG.  An ultra vulnerable matt sleeve which would be hard to find in any condition at all. I have come across this album three times in 30 years. It is indeed ultra rare. One tiny sticker to the front right and a small red felt pen squiggle top centre, which can just about be made out if you look very carefully. A professional seam split repair to the top, near the opening. The edges and spine have storage wear. NO writing, NO tears etc. 

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. The chance of finding this album in any condition at all is negligible so late in the day. Finding it in this splendid condition will prove nearly impossible!! 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.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

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.
