Dead Forever - Original 1972 German Vertigo label 8-track LP

Rare original 1972 German Vertigo label 8-track LP - the debut album by pioneering bluesy acidic and progressive flavored Sedney based proto-metallists - lots of thunderous and dense riffs and genre fitting high pitched vocal postures - not without a strong influence from Black Sabbath.

Vinyl has the generic Side 1 full swirl logo label and Side 2 top swirl logo tracklisting labels.

Vinyl is held in a fully laminated picture cover.

For those into trail off information:
Side 1: 1 0 AA 6357100 1Y 320
Side 2: 1 0 AA 6357100 2Y 320

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

Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a very few light and not so light but altogether inaudible surface lines - combined with some degree of fine and ultralight sleeve inflicted wear.

Labels has a spiderweb og superficial and fine spindletraces - suggestingv that whoever owned this album, loved it.

Vinyl sounds far better than it looks - just a touch of crackling in the quiet and soundless parts - none when the dynamics sets in.

Vinyl is conservatively graded upper VG.

Cover has a light degree of superficial laminate only wear along with a single top back crease and a wrinkling from edges.

Cover has intact seams - a couple of mm's mid spine and a cm or so lower spine cover shelling. 'B' in 'Buffalo' is gone, but spine is otherwise eaily readable.
Corners are manifestly but not overly rubbed - as is a short stretch og mid-lower right edge of the spine. Cover is still nice though - artwork - a battered face see through a skull - comes through with only minor distraction - cover is graded a nice upper VG.
