Very rare LP. The cover is a little worn with spine creases and edge wear (see photos) and some sticker residue but still very good. The vinyl is in great shape and retains a beautiful sheen with a few hairlines and plays superb throughout. The labels have a few spindle marks. Overall this is a great copy for any collector and it would be hard to find a better copy of this elusive gem today. Very low start price on this.

Cult classic outsider psych / folk first released in the US as "Ask the Unicorn" on ESP disk and a year later on Fontana in the UK. With no promotion this LP sold in tiny amounts. Years later it has become revered as a classic of its genre. Compelling dark songs. Playing a ten-string lute-like instrument called a tiple, Askew creates a psychedelic folk masterpiece. One of the most bizarre and wonderful albums released by ESP.
