·       URIAH HEEP (WITH OSIBISA AND MANFRED MANN) - LOOK AT YOURSELF (ORIGINAL DIE-CUT "MIRROR" COVER) - ORIGINAL 1971 MERCURY/BRONZE STEREO LP SRM-1-614

 

·       ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING

 

·       ORIGINAL RED MERCURY LABEL WITH BLACK SCRIPT

 

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

 

·       ORIGINAL, THIN CARDBOARD COVER (NO THICK CARDBOARD COVERS WERE EVER PRODUCED FOR THIS TITLE)

 

·       ORIGINAL 'GIMMICK' (“MIRROR”) DIE-CUT COVER

 

·       COVER IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK (CELLOPHANE) WRAP

 

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

 

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

 

·       NOTE: this delicate, frail, MIRROR-like cover is EXTREMELY susceptible to wear and tear and virtually impossible to find in near mint condition. Practically no copy we’ve ever seen was mint or devoid of excessive ring wear. To preserve this cover in a truly immaculate condition, the original owner had to be have been very smart and KEEP the original, protective shrink wrap intact. We are very thankful to the original owner of this album for wisely doing exactly that: keeping the original shrink wrap in place, which has beautifully shielded and protected the delicate cover from the harmful impact of the elements (such as partying, booze, burns from grass joints or other, er… extracurricular activities) over the decades.

 

(PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH,  SHOWN BELOW) (Note: the image shown is from our previous auction; it appears here for reference only; the actual item is in a condition quite similar to the one shown, but is not completely identical in every minute detail ).

The best - and by far the most competent and inspired - work by this mid-70's British hard rockers/heavy metalmen. Plus, the classic, genre-defining cover. Track listing: Look at yourself - I wanna be free - July morning - Tears in my eyes - Shadows of grief - What should be done - Love machine.

·       CONDITION:

 

·       RECORD

 

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions (probably just sleeve scuffs inflicted in storage over the years) ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)          The album comes with the original “mirror”  insert still intact.

 

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

 

(d)          The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

 

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DIE-CUT COVER)

 

THE COVER IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP; HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT DUE TO MINOR FLAWS LISTED BELOW; WE GRADE THIS COVER AS VG++

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        A visible water (mold) stain affects the area about 3 square inches in size (visible on both sides, plus the insides); there is no damage to the cover,  however, the greenish moldy stain is visible and has caused a slight warp in the affected area.

 

-        Note: the previous owner taped the edges of the shrink wrap along the opening slot to the INSIDE of the cover by using two pieces of clear scotch tape. We stress that the tape is not even touching the visible, external part of the cover. This can be easily removed.

 

-         Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2.

 

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

 

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

 

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

 

-        No split seams

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No dirt/dust rubbing stains (friction marks caused by rubbing against other covers)

-        No writing

-        No stamps

-        No tearing: no chips, dents or nicks on the seams

-        No peel-off marks

-        No stickers or labels

-        No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts.

-        No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
