Gummimasker - Original 1971 Norwegian Pressed Polydor label vinyl 9-track LP

Rare original 1971 Norwegian printed Polydor label 9-track vinyl LP album from Danish folk-hippie-rock combo.

Vinyl has '710' matrix printing stressing that this copy was manufactured in Norway for the Danish market - with the generic all red Company labels manufactured by German Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft.

Vinyl comes complete with 4-page A4 size illustrated lyric boklet - everything held in a , pinche spine picture cover manufactured by Johnsen + Johnsen in Denmark.

The majority of tracks on 'Gummimasker' is hippiefolk - some tracks on side 2 has a more definite progressive angle.

Cover: Close to Near Perfect/excellent, VG+(+):

Cover has faint and unavoidable edge wrinkling from milder cover bends and an unusual light degree of superficial creasing.
Front cover has a touch of lower front cover wear - next to nothing - back a cut out hole in lower mid opening region - probably a promotional cut out hole.

Seams are intact with only extremely little wear located solely on bottom seam. The non piched part of the spine is clear and readable and like all copies we have had - slightly pressurized. Opening has almost no rubbing - corners are very nice with only hints of wear. A very delicate cover in beautiful condition and without the usual sticker tears - graded straight VG+.
