It contains their most notable radio hit, "Radar Love" Which is what originally inspired me to purchase this album from new in 1973 an unbeleivable 35 years ago! Certain charactoristics make this very underated album become very collectable and sought after being the earliest 1st pressing with #1 #1 matrix endings and crossed out\corrected stampers on both sides only 1st pressings also complete with the original lyric insert and the original texture gatefold cover! What also makes this album so unique is the condition of the vinyl Virtually unplayed condition! Ubeleivable to find like this after 35 years!! The audio is astounding and plays through absolutely perfect throughout!! Beleive me this album ill be a great investment  !    

All songs by Barry Hay and George Kooymans, except where noted

  1. "Radar Love" – 6:25
  2. "Candy's Going Bad" – 6:13
  3. "Vanilla Queen" – 9:21
  4. "Big Tree, Blue Sea" – 8:15
  5. "Are You Receiving Me" (John Fenton, Hay, Kooymans) – 9:33

 

 

The audio is awesome! I have played this through track for track on as top system prior to listing and the audio is cristal clear and vibrant throughout. With  clicks ,pops, and no static crackle or ticks and certainly (no) skips or jumps! Absolutely perfect throughout!!!!

 

 

visually this still retains its original sheen from new and looks as new!!!! This has only ever been played by me three or four times ever! ,, and has been stored in a case ith the vinyl seperated from the sleeve and cover all of this time!! Only in strong light could possibly any sleeve removal marks be seen (but to be honest i can't see any at all) There are certainly no audio sounding marks at all!!!

 

 

The Audio

I played this through track for track on a top system at very loud volume prior to listing!! This audio plays as good as it gets in my opinion Audio is graded as near mint \perfect throughout!!!

The cover printed be McNeil press (only 1st press covers) Please note these early covers are textured! There is very very minimal storage ware to the corners \minimal creases just very slight flatening at the spine all writing legible! very light rubbing can just be seen at the front top right where a stiker has been removed but barely noticable unless scutinised  There are no splits or tares and the cover is strong and straight as it should be! A SUPERBE EXAMPLE 35 years old and must be at least Excellent!!!!

 

This album is complete with the original lyric sheet (rarely seen complete in perfect condition!!!

 

THIS VINYL LOOKS AND PLAYS ALMOST AS NEW! THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF GROOVEWARE AT ALL !!!  CRISTAL LEAR AND VIBRANT ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!!
