Second Hand
Death May Be Your Santa Claus
Mushroom 200 MR/6
Very rare UK album by the underrated rock/progrock band Second Hand. This is the 1972 very first pressing of the album, featuring, as the opening track, the tune Death May Be Your Santa Claus and not Funeral (albums opening with funeral are considered to be second pressings.) Symphonic progrock at its beat, a great band, a great album. Also earliest known matrix A/3 B/3. 
Here are some words from Wikipedia:
Second Hand were a British progressive rock band, established by teenagers Ken Elliott, Kieran O'Connor and Bob Gibbons in 1965. They recorded three studio albums (the first was released in 1968) until their breakup in 1972. The band is considered to be one of the first and most underestimated progressive rock bands in history
I have many more records for sale, just let me know if you are interested! I lead an online shop in Italy and I'm a professional records dealer. 
CONDITIONS: ex(+)/ex+ from strict Record Collector grading (cover graded first) I will try to grade the disc at my best. Both cover and disc are absolutely beautiful. The cover is great, laminated, sharp and clean. Has a very very small tag on top left but this seems to be on all copies. Graded ex because of some minor age wear, minor wrinkles un upper part and on th back. Spine is perfect, seams are perfect, needless to say no writings of any sort. To many dealers it would be a MINT- but I prefer to keep a strict grading. Disc is wonderful, again I grade it ex+ but many would say MINT- Only shows inevitable sleeve removal scuffs, no serious issues of any kind, play tested plays fantastic, just some minor, almost inevitable, light clicks in the most silent part during early revolutions. Really hard to find any better.  Labels are pristine. Just let me know if you need any additional pictures or photos.
PAGAMENTO/PAYMENT
Paypal, bonifico bancario, vaglia postale, assegno o ritiro di persona. We take Paypal of course. We can also accept: bank swift, international bank cheques drawn in any currency (but you'll have to pay my crazy bank commissions, sorry!) I do not accept cash sent by mail (my auction was already cancelled once for writing so!) though if you want to meet me in person and put the money in my hands I think it is OK! :-)  Paypal, bonifico bancario, contrassegno,vaglia postale, assegno o ritiro di persona.dall'Italia sono OK! 
POSTAGE COSTS !!
To Europe: $ 18 To Americas and Japan and basically elsewhere (except maybe Oceania) $ 25. Please note that, of course, shipping cost is not $ 4 as eBay forces me to state. Please note that I cannot send unregistered because I must be able to prove Paypal the actual mailing if required!
Per l'Italia, in caso di pagamento anticipato spedizione con postacelere 1 (consegna in 24 ore) al costo di € 12,00. Disponibili ovviamente pacco ordinario a € 7,00 oppure paccocelere 3 (consegna in tre giorni) a € 10,00. Dischi a 45 giri possono anche essere inviati come lettera raccomandata ma il risparmio sul costo non è significativo.
