Hex - Original 1994 UK Circa label 7-track LP

Rare original 1994 UK Circa label 7-track LP - the debut album by British post-rock band released on the brink of vinyl extinction.

The term "post-rock" was coined by music journalist Simon Reynolds in his review of 'Hex' for Mojo magazine and Melody Maker wrote that 'Hex' was "the work of a band nourished by constant evolution and is unquestionably divine....a gorgeously intense 50 minutes..."

Vinyl has the generic golden 'C' and circle design labels on red and white background - comes complete with illustrated card inner sleeved - held in a partly laminated picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Inner Sleeve)/VG++ (Cover):

Vinyls is bright and lustrous - has at some point been used a couple of times fron the card inner sleeve and has subsequently a very light degree of sleeve wear - just a touch.

Labels are mint and vinyl is overall easily graded near mint.

Inner sleeve has very mild inevitabel vinyl outline - otherwise barely any signs of handling - graded near mint.

Cover has a little faint and very discontinued edge and opening cornbers rubbing... a mild upper opening dent - a nice near mint cover and a superb copy overall.
