A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT

LEAF HOUND Growers Of Mushroom (2003 Italian 11-track LP pressed on Audiophile quality 180 Gram Heavyweight Vinyl. Originally released on Decca in 1971. As is often the case, this incredible progressive masterpiece was criminally ignored in its lifetime, but has since gone on to attain legendary status, with original copies topping the £1000 mark! Includes TWO bonus recordings, high quality gatefold sleeve with biography & discography information inside. Although not

Tracklisting: sealed, this example displays minimal wear and little signs of play AK256)ÞÞ1. Freelance Fiend 2. Sad Road To The Sea 3. Drowned My Life In Fear 4. Work My Body 5. Stray 6. With A Minute To Go 7. Growers Of Mushroom 8. Stagnant Pool 9. Sawdust Caesar Bonus tracks: 10. It's Going To Get Better (Single B-side, Germany only) 11. Hip Shaker (previously unreleased)
LEAF HOUND Growers Of Mushroom (Once voted the number one most collectable rock record by Q Magazine, this 1971 UK 9-track LP, an incredible progressive masterpiece that was criminally ignored during its lifetime, has since gone on to attain legendary status & quite rightly so. The album was recorded in one eleven hour session at Spot Studios in Mayfair, London in late 1970 with Peter Fench on Vocals, Mick Halls on Guitar, Derek Brooks on Guitar, with his brother Stuart on Bass & Keit

Tracklisting: h George-Young on drums. The band had previously been active, with various lineups, as Black Cat Bones. A victim of circumstances and a sequence of disputes with their management, led to the band touring Germany with the album still unreleased. Because of their success on this tour, German label Telefunken released both the album and a single. On returning to the UK, the album still remained unissued & the band finally broke up before it was released, losing the opportunity to promote it, and it disappeared without trace. Many years later, the album was re-discovered, rightly proclaimed a classic & people set out to to try to obtain copies, without success. Seriously bootlegged, as original copies were almost impossible to obtain, it is suspected that like the Dr Z 'Three Parts To My Soul' LP, the actual copies sold were measured in handfuls.

This is one of those original copies!

Unlike the majority of the few surviving copies, this copy is in spectacular condition with minimal wear to the sleeve & immaculate vinyl. How it survived in this state is unknown, but it did & here it is. We are overjoyed to be able to offer it to you all & can guarantee that there isn't a better original copy on the planet.
Yes, it's expensive, but good things often are. Miss this one & there won't be another along like it.

Forever is a long time to regret not doing something...
Not buying this copy, if you ever went looking for it, you WILL regret.

'Growers Of Mushroom', just one copy, in fantastic condition, ONLY available here! SKL-R5094)

Sawdust Caesar Detailed Condition :- Sleeve The sleeve shows just a little light creasing to the laminate in places, with some lift evident at the spine. Far less than is usually seen. The unlaminated back shows minimal light wear at the edges & all text & the back image are clear to see. Usually this back is found not much short of destroyed, so this really is a bit special. There is some wear to the corners, but nothing significant. A good EX sleeve, compared to the more usual VG- or worse, when found at all. Vinyl The vinyl is beautiful, with just a couple of light cosmetic marks visible on side two that are inaudible during play. Upon playtesting, this classic album still exhibits the rich, full sonics that it did forty years ago. There is just the tiniest amount of burring at the edges during very loud passages, but this is insignificant. Crackle between tracks is almost non-existant. The vinyl is an easy EX/EX+. All in all, an incredibly good EX/ EX+ copy of this classic album that has defied the hands of time. We are unaware of any copies surfacing so far that are as good as this one, with most being far, far below it in terms of condition. It's taken us over twenty five years to find a copy in good enough condition to want to offer for sale. We were lucky enough to find this one & it's a gem!
