The Belafst Gypsies was formed when garagy Irish R&B combo, as Them, collapsed into two leaving Pat McAuley as leader of the rival combo - still very much in that raw, powerfull, manic and garagy R&B vein - produced Kim Fowley.

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

Vinyl is bright and shiny - has been used directly from the paper inner sleeve and has a very few fine, light and inaudible surface marks paired with a little faint sleeve wear.

Labels has a spiders web og light and superficial spindletraces - by far mostly placed within the center ring. Vinyl is overall a very nmice close to near mint/excellent.

Cover has extremely nice cover centers - only the very faintest laminate only wear to vinyl outline.
A few light and small wrinkles comes from edges and a couple of very small but not so light ones are placed in top corners as a result of slightly more manifest corner dents.

Seams are straight and without wear - iopening edges almost without signs of use - cover is overall graded close to near mint.
