The condition is BRAND NEW. discs are housed in poly sleeves, and the jacket is housed in a resealable poly sleeve just as if it were an LP. Superb craftsmanship in every way, a very well thought out product and great value for the money. To be clear, these do not appear to be factory silver discs, but the discs themselves are silver bottom (as opposed to greenish or blue color). I appreciate the attention that has been paid with this product, it is evident that it has been produced by people who really care.You can add stuff to your order and the difference in shipping cost will be refunded back to you once the transaction funds have posted to my account (usually takes 3-4 business days).

Minden 1973 Audience 8.8 – One of the earliest concert recordings ever sourced! It sounds very good, decent equipment used, and maybe placed a little back in the club but otherwise it’s a lot better than it has a right to be. The band certainly evolved quite a bit from these early club days, but the character of the band never did. Fascinating document!

Minden 1974 Audience 9.4 – What a difference a year makes, as the band return to the same club a year later and wreck the place! Extremely tasty, the recording does the band justice as it literally just leaps out of the speakers with maximum ferocity while retaining enough detail and depth to let you sit and listen in total awe. Fucking hell this is good!
