TONS OF BASS AND WARMTH! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

NOW HERE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL!

AN ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION(1969)OF THE HYPNOTIC BLUES TINGED PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM ISSUED ON THE PINK ISLAND LABEL .

MUSICALLY ELEMENTS OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND BLUES WITH SUPERB MUSICIANSHIP,SOME GREAT SOLOS,MAGNIFICENT VOCALS AND OF COURSE TOP RECORDING PRODUCTION AS TYPICAL OF THE ISLAND LABEL!

A MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE THAT MUST HAVE BLOWN MANY MINDS AWAY BACK IN 1969 WHEN THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

HARDLY ANYONE THOUGHT LONG TERM VALUE AND VERY,VERY FEW WOULD PLAY SUCH MUSIC IN THE SAME CAREFUL WAY THAT CLASSICAL BUYERS WOULD.THIS COPY IS THE EXCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANY FREE FAN WILL WANT THIS AND ESPECIALLY AS A FIRST EDITION IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION-I CAN'T RECALL EVER FINDING ONE AS GOOD AS THIS FOR YEARS-JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY FROM AN EQUALLY LONG TERM EBAY SUPPLIER OF TOP QUALITY VINTAGE ROCK!  

THIS IS A LOVELY VINYL PRESSING.

This is a THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from later years with LATER label designs.

WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE, THERE WAS A DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGN USED, THIS ONE STILL WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE,SOON TO BE REPLACED IN WITH THE "PINK RIM"/PALM TREE DESIGN WHICH OF COURSE IS FAR LESS DESIRABLE AND LESS VALUABLE HAVING A MUCH LARGER PRINT RUN!! 

SO BACK TO THE DISC ITSELF>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED ON TOP EQUIPMENT WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE-GENERALLY VERY QUIET VINYL,AS NEEDED WITH REFLECTIVE MUSIC!

Copies of this album ON THE PINK ISLAND DESIGN LABEL were  sold in SMALL quantities-only a HUGE seller ON THE LATER LABEL DESIGN and so how many were preserved like this one AS A FIRST EDITION??

HARDLY USED AND NOT ABUSED!!! 

THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear FREE AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

GREAT SOUND! 

MORE BASS THAN CD! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!! 

The  GATEFOLD cover has some minor edge wear with some small edge creases and a little staining,but that is being very strict and is otherwise superb!

NO WRITING! NO RIPS! NO REPAIRS!

NO SELLOTAPE! 

MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR!

SEE BOTH PHOTOS FOR OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD,+BOTH RECORD LABELS! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1970s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find!
