Rare Bird
Epic Forest
UK 1972
Polydor 2442-101
Matrix numbers A: 2442101 A//1 1 1 1 B: 244210X1 B//1 1 1 1 (N.B) The X is actually a number 2 crossed out
Near perfect copy of this very rare album. Little used a handful of plays only. The cover is pristine. Comes with the bonus picture sleeve single AND the mega, mega rare poster. This is the very first press with the wrong matrix number on side 2 (2442102, the last digit is crossed out and a 1 added after).
Cover is virtually perfect. Lovely front, back and inside. Perfect spine with no discolouration and beautiful square edges. Extreme minimal wear only but this is miniscule. Graded as NEAR MINT but very close to Mint, indeed.
The cover to the single has a bit of light wrinkle where it fits into the die cut sleeve. The actual single looks, again NEAR MINT.
The poster has never been used and is very nice bar a few of very feint and hardly noticeable stains in the white border.
Overall, such a super copy of an album that's so hard to find. You would be very, very hard pressed to find a better example of such a brilliant progressive rock album.
Needless to say, this album will be very well packed.
Postage costs are below and please read all terms before bidding!
About Me
I've been a collector of psych/prog folk records for the past 20 years or so but feel I've come to a stage in my life when its time to sell up and move on. I hope to grade the albums as I would hope to find them. Over the next few months I will be listing some very desirable albums.

Gradings, returns etc - Vinyl is visually graded as carefully as possible although, as grading is subjectional, I must point out that these are my own personal opinions of the grading, which, I personally, would be happy with as a buyer (and I've been a collector for the past 20 years or so). Therefore, all gradings are approximate. If I've played the album, I'll describe it as best I can in the listing. If you are unhappy with the album and decide you simply cannot keep it, I will offer a full refund when the buyer has returned the item at their cost and the item is recieved in the condition that it left here. No partial refunds will be given.
