Mountain – Climbing! (Vinyl) Original Japanese Pressing
Bell Records (1970)

Product Description

Rare Actual 1970 Japanese First Pressing! Heavy Grade Cover Includes Insert Withy Lyrics, Labels Are Clean. The Powerful Debut LP From Mountain (Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi & Norman Smart). 

Condition – Vinyl: NEAR MINT! Couple of very light marks, but looks like the record has had very little play over the last 53 years!

Condition – Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS! Shelf wear, minor creases.

Guitarist, Leslie West gets a gargantuan sound out of his Les Paul Gibson. Bassist, Felix Pappalardi, was producer of Cream ~ Mountain has a similar dense, blues based style.

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.
