Secure a cornerstone of British psychedelic and progressive rock with this scarce 1970 UK 1st pressing of Hard Meat's self-titled debut on the iconic orange Warner Bros. label (WS 1852). Highly prized by audiophiles and Vertigo-era enthusiasts, this definitive copy features the earliest A-1/B-1 matrix endings, ensuring the raw, heavy energy of the Birmingham trio is captured with the punchy, authentic fidelity only found on original 1970s masters.

Formed by brothers Mick and Richard Dolan alongside drummer Phil Caromo, Hard Meat delivered a sophisticated blend of heavy blues-rock, folk-rock, and early prog. This debut is celebrated for its intricate arrangements and the explosive 10-minute powerhouse "Run Shaker Life", a track that remains a highlight of the 1970 UK underground scene.

Presented in its original gatefold picture sleeve, this LP is a quintessential example of the transition from late-sixties psych into the more complex British prog-rock movement. As a genuine UK first-press, it represents a high-value investment piece for collectors of rare early 70s vinyl.
