TRAPEZE Medusa

Rare 1970 UK white and blue Threshold label 7-track vinyl LP with '2W' stamped matrices. The 2nd album from the Heavyweight trio, housed in a fantastic gatefold picture sleeve [illustrated by Phil Travers] - this copy is graded VG+/EX-. Some edgewear and spine rubbing is evident to the sleeve though it harbours no rips or tears and the cover shows only the lightest of surface marks. The disc itself is in very nice shape for its age with clean, bright labels, again with very faint spindle marks detectable only if held up to the light. Despite a few hairline surface marks evident the vinyl otherwise remains a solid playing example, maintaining this as a great starter copy of this early heavy blues-rock classic - featuring Deep Purple's Glenn Hughes, Whitesnake's Mel Galley and Judas Priest's Dave Holland, recommended!
