Fødelandssange - 1978 Norwegian pressed Polydor label 2nd Issue 10-track LP

Scarce 1978 Norwegian pressed Polydor 10-track LP - the 2nd issue of Danish rock communes sole album originally released in 1972.

The band plays basic danish 1970ies rock which leans towards the political era with elements from folk, jazz and blues.
 

Vinyl is manufactured for distribution in Denmark with the generic red company labels with top company name in large lower case white printing... just eneath the black "half vinyl album" logo.

Labels have slightly larger label fonts than the original 1972 pressing and without 'Casper´ and 'Eget Forlag' texts on bottom label.

Vinyl has machine printed trail off information:

Side 1: 2380 017 A 5 P 78 F 710

Side 2: 2380 017 B 5 P 78 F 710

again - supporting that this is the 2nd issue pressed in 1978... manufactured from a laquer cut at the Oslo based Rosenborg Studios by mastering engineer Ivar Finsen and subsequently pressed by Phonograms pressing plant Musikkindustri A/S - likewise in Oslo.

Vinyl is housed in a pinched spine picture cover with intact circular sticker announcing band members.

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

Vinyl is bright and shiny and has a touch of sleeve inflicted wear - a little too much for a near mint grading.

Labels has a faint degree of spindletraces - looks like from a couple to less than a handful of superficial and simple ones - vinyl is overall graded close to near mint/excellent.

Cover has light wrinkles in spine corner areas... and a very few along opning - all from milder bends... a little area of light sticker glue residue in the top spine corner region - a tiny sticker tear in the opposite corner area.
Cover has straight and intact seams - just a touch of wear in corner areas - corners are nice with just a touch of rubbing - minor spine corner dents as well.
Cover has a first name handwritten inside the cover - all in all a very decent cover with only minor imperfections with does capture ones attention when experiencing the cover artwork - graded VG+.
