CHARGE - CHARGE LP (UK HEAVY -PSYCH/ SRT PRODUCTIONS - SRT 73275). A genuine early 70s heavy-psych LP rarity by British trio Charge.

The record (SRT 73275, 1973 UK pressing on SRT Productions. The textured orange labels with black text are in bright, clean shape, all text is cleanly printed and fully legible with only minor spindle wear around the centre holes. SRT 73275 A/ B stamped matrix. Side 1 is in glorious Ex condition, displays a couple of hairline/ wispy paper marks. Side 2 is in strong Ex+ condition. Comes in a generic white card sleeve).
