VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
The vinyl is very good in general.
A few faults are acceptable but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly.
May have ittle light inaudible marks. The record has been well kept. The cover is still in shrink wrap. Pink Scroll labels.
About
Van Der Graaf Generator – Pawn Hearts (1971) is a progressive rock masterpiece, fusing complexity, intensity, and theatrical brilliance. Led by Peter Hammill’s haunting vocals and introspective lyrics, the album takes listeners on a dark, emotional journey.
With just three tracks, it delivers an immersive experience. Lemmings opens with apocalyptic energy, shifting through delicate melodies and chaotic bursts. Man-Erg explores duality, blending tender piano with aggressive saxophone and distorted guitars. The epic A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, a 23-minute suite, is a sonic odyssey of shifting moods, from eerie calm to explosive crescendos.
Originally planned as a double album, Pawn Hearts was ultimately released as a single LP but still became a cult classic. Hugely influential in the progressive rock scene, its avant-garde approach and emotional depth set it apart. Fans of King Crimson and Genesis will find something truly unique here.
