Monster Tapes - Original 1980 Norwegian 10-track LP

Rare original 1980 Norwegian Harvest label 10-track LP - the 2nd album by Oslo based prog influenced influenced hard and heavy rock band.

Vinyl has the generic lime and dark gree company labels with 'EMI records...' rimtext and boxed EMI logo to the left label - held in a glossy picture cover.


Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is beautifully shiny - has almost no signs of play or handling - a touch of sleeve wear is all.
Labels has less than a handfull light, superficial and slightly scattered spindle traces - vinyl is overall easily graded near mint.

Cover has an upper left front tag tear - nicely repaired - otherwise only light edge and opening wrinkling and a little light lower seam, faint upper seam wear. Spine is slightly pressurised but easily readable, opening without rubbing.
Corners are nice with almost no rubbing - a very decent VG+ cover - and overall a very nice copy.
