I do not sell copies or bootlegs.

I post my LPs by Tracked Delivery. I use good quality reinforced cardboard cases and separate the Vinyl from the Sleeves to prevent splits in covers. I also enclose a plastic sleeve for storage if the shrink wrap on the sleeves is not intact.

Reviews:
This is the group's best in my opinion and one of 1973s most unsung albums. There's nothing radio friendly, except maybe 'Green Lights', so this album got lost in the shuffle of so many great works' being produced at the time. Buried like a treasure! You'll hear a lot of great acoustic guitar,...synth sweeps and bleeps on occasion, which is new...female chorus back-up singers...very trippy electric guitars and harmonica...weird/funny/mad/pirate/spacey vocals...like a British version of Beefheart only cooler and warmer like track 6 which has a minstrel sound. Even Arthur Grant adds killer acoustic guitar to one song. It's all here including an all to real gaze into the crystal-ball on 'Hi-Jack Boogie where a 911 type event is eerily plotted. This band was waving a freak-flag with the word 'FREEDOM' written on it in blood! With groups like Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper etc. doing the same, it's a tragedy they never toured the U.S. They might have turned the tide on the new-wave that 'as we all know' eventually dribbled in! How's this for a mental image 'The Edgar Broughton Band' chanting "Out Demons Out" on the white-house lawn! That gets my vote! I have all of Edgars work 'Inside Out' & 'Superchip' are my other favourites.
