MOTT THE HOOPLE

MAD SHADOWS

BEAUTIFUL AUDIO AND VERY EARLY MOTT THE HOOPLE.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, ON POSTAGE AND SHIPPING TO THE UK AND WORLD WIDE AT THE END OF THE LISTING, THANK YOU.

THIS IS MOTT THE HOOPLE, WHO ORIGINALLY PERFORMED FROM 1969 UNTIL 1980, AND ARE FROM HEREFORD IN ENGLAND, AND THIS IS THEIR 2ND ALBUM RELEASED IN 1970, AND AS IT IS EARLY MOTT THE HOOPLE, THEN THE TRACKS ARE MORE HARD ROCK/PROG ROCK, THAN LATER MOTT THE HOOPLE. 

THIS 1970 ORIGINAL EARLIST UK 1ST PRESS  IS PRESSED ON THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS BPINK ISLAND LABEL, WITH THE WHITE 'i' LOGO.

ON THE LABELS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS ILPS 9119.

IN THE RUN OFFS IT HAS, ILPS 9119  A-2U / ILPS 9119  B-2U.

PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER, AND ALSO IT HAS VERY EARLY STAMPERS, 1 T / 1 L.

THE COVER IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST GATEFOLD, WITH NO SPLITS ON THE SPINE OR EDGES, JUST A BIT OF VERY FAINT RUB ON THE SPINE EDGE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, AND AGAIN AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, ARE NOTHING SERIOUS. WHEN YOU OPEN THE GATEFOLD, IT IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE.

THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFUL, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF HARMLESS MARKS, THAT I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT, AND IF YOU PLAYED THE VINYL WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT, THEN YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THEY WERE THERE, SO TOTALLY HARMLESS AND SEEN ONLY WHEN YOU TILT THE VINYL A CERTAIN WAY UNDER LIGHT....

TO LOOK AT THE VINYL, SIDE 1 HAS A MEDIUM SIZED HARMLESS THIN SCRATCH LOOKING LINE ON TRACK 1, AND ALSO ON TRACK 1, A SMALL THIN HARMLESS SCUFF LINE, AND TWO FAINT SCUFF LINES ON TRACK 2.

SIDE 2 THERE IS A SMALL EVER SO SLIGHTLY FEELABLE LINE ON THE SECOND HALF OF TRACK 1, AND A TINY HARMLESS LINE AT THE START OF TRACK 2.

BOTH SIDES HAVE A COUPLE OF FAINT HARMLESS LINES FROM THE USE OF THE INNER SLEEVE, AND AS MENTIONED YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY WERE THERE, SO REALLY JUST VISUALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VINYL, AND NOT AN AUDIO ISSUE, AS IT PLAYS BEAUTIFUL.

THE LABELS ARE ALSO IN NICE CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT MARKS FROM THE SPINDLE PIN AT THE CENTRE.

THE INNER HAS JUST A SMALL SEAM SPLIT ON ALL THREE SIDES IN THE MIDDLE, SO NOT REPAIRED AND SO STILL ORIGINAL, AND A BIT OF WRITING ON THE BACK. I WILL ALSO PUT THE VINYL IN A BRAND NEW INNER WITH A POLY LINER.

SO ONTO THE THE GRADING SIDE OF THINGS, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING I AM ALWAYS ON THE OTHER END TO ANSWER....

THE COVER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE EX/EX- .

THE AUDIO AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE  EX+/NEAR MINT .

THE LABELS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE EX .

THE INNER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE VG/VG+ .

I MUST SAY THAT I WILL BE LISTING SOME GREAT ALBUMS SOON, BUT I NEED TO GET SOME MORE SALES UNDER MY BELT, SO THE AUCTIONS WILL GO BETTER, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THANK YOU.
