So, so hard to find, Amazing Blondel's first and definitely finest!! Splendid psych/prog/folk album in great EX++ condition!! I am very happy to be able to present this fantastic and ULTRA rare album in this EX+ to NM condition. This will be a great first acquisition as well as a terrific upgrade!!!

SBLL - 131 1U/1U 1ST & ONLY PRESSING - BY FAR AWAY THEIR BEST ALBUM COMBINING MEDIEVAL FOLK WITH
EASTERN INFLUENCES TO PRODUCE A UNIQUE VIBE - WITH CLEM CATTINI & BIG JIM SULLIVAN 

THE IMMACULATE VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

ONE OF THE HARDEST BIG LABEL UK LP'S TO FIND-ONLY A FEW SOLD ON RELEASE MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND NOW.THE LP IS PURE MAGIC FROM START TO FINISH WITH TOP ACID/FOLK/PSYCH AT ITS VERY BEST-RECORDED MID 69 AND RELEASED VERY EARLY 1970 ON BELL RECORDS-LOVELY MAGICAL HIPPIE LAND ACID/FOLK WITH GREAT BACKING FROM SITAR/CONGAS/TABLA/FLUTE/LUTE/HARMONIUM AND VARIOUS ELECTRIC/ACOUSTIC GUITARS AND BRILLIANT VOX.TOP 3 ACID/FOLK/PSYCH LP'S EVER RECORDED WITH THAT ONLY ENGLISH SOUND.THEY WENT ON AND RECORDED MORE LP'S BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS LEAVING THE ACID/PSYCH OUT AND MORE IN A TRAD FOLK SOUND.NOW ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND HARD TO FIND LATE 60'S LP'S-A REAL GEM.

Vinyl: EX++. Two light hairlines are the only thing barring this from being an NM vinyl. Audio is A+++++  nd this vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic album  that went unnoticed. The audio has beautiful separation and there is no background noise. I played this twice in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed megarare now. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

Sleeve: EX.  Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. A great example of this rarely seen album and the first original I have ever come across. Fully laminated front and back. Tiny "miniscule" underlaminate creases near the spine. 

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych/folk album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
