AARDVARK Aardvark (Rare 1970 first UK issue 8-track stereo LP on the orange & silver Deram Nova series label, with matrices ending '-1W'. This is a near forgotten gem of UK progressive rock, keyboard-heavy with no guitars [other than bass!], &some tasteful electronic trickery, housed in a front laminated picture sleeve with stereo/mono hole indicator on the back, pinched spine & blue-for-stereo company inner. The cover [VG] has corner creasing from ring wear, a little mild discolouring on the back not upsetting the print & some lift to the laminate along the spine, with all text legible. The vinyl grades VG+/EX- & plays higher, with superb playback & just a few mild paper hairlines & spindle not affecting play. The disc has been professionally cleaned & comes highly recommended SDN17)
