It is not very often that you come across a vinyl of such superior quality. am very proud to be able to offer this jewel for auction. ELUSIVE PROGRESSIVE MONSTER!!!! IN A UNIQUE EX CONDITION!!!A FEW SPINS ONLY!! !!!!AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND!!!GORGEOUS EX+!!! "WINTER HARVEST" is the hardest Earrings album to find these days. This is a rare beast that can be classified as psych/prog, the most desirable albums were made between 1967-1972. Pre-Moontan albums are few and far between as the Earring did not have any success in other countries than their native Holland. In all my years this is only the third time (One other was a German version) I have come across this absolute STUNNER. The rarity of this LP is not to be underestimated!!! Most of these will now be tucked away in major collections across the four corners of the Earth. Rare ... anyone?? This is the ultra rare mono version with the flipback sleeve. Sensational sound quality, NO skips or jumps. NO clicks, this is really a stunning heavy vinyl with a beautiful deep gloss. This vinyl seems to have been hardly played at all!!! A definite EX+!!! Inspected under an intense light source and angled. Vinyl: EX. A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more in-depth observation. I am very glad to say that there are not any jumps or skips. There is no disturbing crackle and there are NO clicks. Unbelievably as it may sound there is not any background noise at all, there are only two or three wispy hairlines that do not impact the audio at all !! Very remarkable for this 1967 vinyl!!! Fantastic songcraft!! I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!! Outstanding channelling, killer riffs, this is a legendary album. The Polydor labels are absolutely beautiful. Sleeve: EX++!!! Untouched by the tooth of time. This is one such rare occasion!!! The sleeve is phenomenal!!! There are NO CREASES!! All edges are sharp and crisp WITHOUT WEAR!!! NO writing or doodling. Of course NO tears, NO smudges and NO defacing of any kind. Only one small crease near the opening prevents a NM grade.This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is a final upgrade and a prime investment piece that will increase in value as the condition is unrivalled.
