Description

Original UK Harvest/EMI label stereo 1st press.
  Their second album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in late 1973 and released in January 1974. The band had been touring during 1973 after the success of their first album, especially in Canada. They managed to get into the studio to record the follow up album with two new members in Ed Spevock & Chris Holmes. This included songs by Andy Shacklock & Anita Hann the vocalist, with orchestral pieces, especially on the title track written & arranged by Andy Shacklock.

This is the original issue with the 'EMI' credits on the label and the earliest A-1 B-1 matrices and 2-RA 1-RL stampers of the first pressings.   The Garrod & Lofthouse matt sleeve is intact & in EX condition, with some light corner/edge wear & some light storage wear on the rear cover and on the inner gatefold. The spine is intact, slightly worn and fully readable, the Harvest company inner is intact, creased and is in VG+ condition.   The record is in visually EX condition, with only a couple of faint sleeve removal hairlines and one or two small needle scuffs visible on each side. The labels are in EX+ condition, clean & bright with evidence of a couple of faint spindle markings on each side.   The sound reproduction is EX+, clear & precise with definately no skips, sticks or jumps, but there is some brief, low background noise during the run in grooves.
Overall, a really great, loud & clear listen.   The matrix nos. are; SHVL-812, A-1 stamper 2-RA, B-1 stamper 1-RL. This is one of the very early copies of the 1st pressing of the original 1974 UK stereo issue of this album!
