HI EVERYONE WHO HAS SHOWN INTEREST IN THIS SORRY BUT I GOT SOMEBODY TO RELIST THIS FOR ME  AS I WASNT AROUND BUT THEY GOT THE WORDING RIGHT BUT NOT THE START PRICE! WHEN I SAID I WANTED IT BACK ON AT A MORE REALISTIC PRICE £1750.00 WAS NOT IT! SO HERE WE GO AGAIN AND PLEASE ENJOY WHAT MY REALISTIC STARTING POINT IS AND YES ITS £1000 AND NO RESERVE THANKS FOR READING **********************************************************************
I HAVE RELISTED THIS ITEM  HAVING SEEN A LOT OF INTEREST FIRST TIME AROUND (AT ONE POINT 50 WATCHERS!) IT IS NOW ON FOR A REALISTIC AUCTION START PRICE AS I REALLY WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO SET IT AT I KNOW THAT THERE PROBABLY ARE A LOT OF YOU WHO WOULD LOVE TO ADD TO THERE COLLECTION SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL GIVE EVERYONE MORE OF A CHANCE ALSO THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DID SHOW INTEREST 1ST TIME AROUND I THINK I AM RIGHT IN SAYING THIS IS THE 1ST ORIGINAL (IE, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL 99 COPIES) TO GO ON EBAY FOR OVER A YEAR!! THIS IS A 7 DAY LISTING FINISHING ON MONDAY EVENING 16TH APRIL ********************************************************************* WELCOME TO MY LISTING FOR PERHAPS ONE OF THE RAREST PROG ROCK ALBUMS OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT
IT WAS ONLY LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND DIFFERENT SITES THAT I REMEMBERED I HAD A COPY AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST THERE WAS FOR IT AND IN FACT TO HAVE BEEN LISTED IN RECORD COLLECTORS TOP 100 MOST VALUABLE RECORDS EVER !!
 LOOKING AROUND SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THIS ALBUM LATELY BY EXPERTS AND GENUINE COLLECTORS THAT I FELT IT WAS TIME TO LET MY COPY GO AND HOPEFULLY TO SOMEONE WHO WILL GENUINELY  TREASURE IT AND KEEP IT AS PERHAPS THE MISSING LINK IN THERE COLLECTION OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK
I HAVE HAD IT A GOOD FEW YEARS AND WOULD GET IT OUT AND PLAY IT FROM TIME TO TIME AS YOU DO AND ENJOYED LISTENING TO IT NOT GIVING A SECOND THOUGHT AS TO HOW SEEMINGLY FAMOUS IN THE WORLD OF COLLECTING RECORDS ONE DAY IT WOULD BECOME
TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST GIVEN THE CASE I PROBABLY HAVEN'T TAKEN ENOUGH CARE WITH IT AS I WOULD OF DONE IF I KNEW WHAT I KNOW NOW (YEH I KNOW HINDSIGHT AND ALL THAT) SO PLEASE KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A 100% MINT COVER AND A 100% MINT VINYL THIS PROBABLY IS NOT FOR YOU
THIS IS I GUESS NOW AROUND 41 YEARS OLD ONE OF THE THINGS I REALLY LIKE IS THE PLAIN SIMPLE SLEEVE OF JUST WHITE CARD WITH THE PICTURE OF SOMEBODYS GRANNIE JUST CUT OUT AND PASTED ON (PURE MAGIC)
I DO NOW KNOW THAT THERE WAS ONLY EVER 99 COPIES OF THIS ALBUM PRESSED IN 1971 AND I DONT KNOW HOW MANY MORE EXIST BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE 99 !!
OK THEN CONDITION WISE I AM BEING AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN IN DESCRIBING IT FOR YOU (PLEASE ALSO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS)
I AM NOT UP WITH ALL THE GRADINGS THE EXPERTS USE SO I WILL GIVE IT IN PLAIN ENGLISH
FIRSTLY THE SLEEVE
WELL AS I SAID THE SLEEVE IS PLAIN WHITE CARD WITH THE GRANNIE HOLDING THE GUITAR CUT OUT AND PASTED ON. THE SLEEVE DOES HAVE SOME PROBABLY LOOKS LIKE FINGER MARKS OTHER THAN THAT JUST A BIT GRUBBY AND TOP LEFT HAND CORNER A VERY SLIGHT SCUFF SOME SIGNS OF RING WEAR BUT NOTHING DRASTIC AND THE CUT AND PASTE GRANNIE IS PERFECT NO TEARS OR CREASING
INSIDE, THE VINYL IS IN A PAPER ALBUM SLEEVE WHICH LOOKS ORIGINAL AS THE PAPER COLOUR HAS GONE A BIT DARKER THAN USUAL WITH AGE
NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT 
THE VINYL
I HAVE SAT DOWN AND LISTENED TO IT WITH PEN AND PAPER AND GONE THROUGH IT TRACK BY TRACK (THROUGH A DECENT PAIR OF HEADPHONES) ALTHOUGH MY RECORD DECK MIGHT NOT BE AS  EXPENSIVE AS SOME EXPERTS  WOULD USE
SIDE 1 TRACK ONE "LEAVING" GOOD -COULD NOT HEAR ANY POPS OR CRACKLES
TRACK TWO "ROMANY REFRAIN" SOME LIGHT CLICKS HEARD TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRACK
TRACK THREE "TOMORROW TODAY" A FEW CLICKS HEARD MAINLY IN 1ST MINUTE BUT NOT CONTINUOUS 
VISIBLY ON SIDE ONE WITH THE NAKED EYE A FEW LIGHT MARKS AND A VISIBLE SCRATCH AS YOU LOOK GOES FROM NEAR THE END OF TRACK 2 THROUGH TRACK 3 HENCE THE TRACK DESCRIPTIONS ABOVE
SIDE 2 TRACK ONE "SAGA OF THE SAD JESTER" A FEW CLICKS HEARD NEAR THE START BUT NOT CONTINUOUS
TRACK TWO "DAWN" RANDOM CLICK HEARD NOW AND THEN BUT NOT MANY AND NOT CONTINUOUS
TRACK THREE "COLOURED ARMAGEDDON" SOME VERY LIGHT NOISE BUT NO OTHER CLICKS I COULD HEAR
VISIBLE DESCRIPTION WITH THE NAKED EYE SOME MINOR MARKS  AND 2 SCRATCHES QUITE VISIBLE TO THE EYE ONE GOES FROM TRACK 1 AND IN TO TRACK 3 THE OTHER GOES FROM TRACK 2 AND INTO 3
I WAS QUIET PLEASED WHEN PLAYING IT  THAT IT WAS AS GOOD AS IT WAS AS WHEN I FIRST SAW THE MARKS ON THE VINYL I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE AWFUL BUT THEY THANK GOD LOOKED A LOT LOT WORSE THAN THEY WAS AND I GUARANTEE FOR WHATEVER MARKS ARE ON THE VINYL IT DOES NOT JUMP IN ANY TRACKS WHATSOEVER
THE RECORD LABEL ON BOTH SIDES IS VERY NEAR TO MINT (SOME MAY SAY IT IS)
THE RECORD LABEL IS SRT AND CATALOGUE NUMBER IS SRT 71138
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE ETCHED IN TO THE RUN OUT ON BOTH SIDES SIDE 1 BEING SRT 71138 A WITH SIDE 2 BEING SRT 71138 B
AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I CAN ABOUT THIS RECORD AND PLEASE ALSO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS (ANY BRIGHT LIGHT SPOTS ON THE VINYL PHOTOS ARE JUST THE FLASH LIGHT AND NOT ON THE VINYL)
I KNOW THAT THERE HAS IN THE PAST BEEN RE-ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM BUT NONE HAVE BEEN OFFICIAL
I DO NOW KNOW THAT  RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE HAS SANCTIONED AN OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM WHICH WILL BE THE VERY 1ST  OFFICIAL RELEASE OF IT ON VINYL AS MY COPY AND THE OTHER 98 WERE NEVER RELEASED ONLY EVER BEING A PRIVATE PRESSING
THE RECORD COLLECTOR RELEASE IS A LIMITED EDITION OF 750 YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THE RECORD COLLECTOR RELEASE FROM THE ORIGINAL 99 AS THE RECORD COLLECTOR COPIES HAVE RCLP003 ETCHED INTO THEM
PLEASE DO NOT  CONFUSE MY COPY WITH ANY OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS THIS AS I HAVE SAID IS AN ORIGINAL AND ONE OF THE 99 PRIVATELY PRESSED ALBUMS FROM 1971 ONLY 99 WORLD WIDE WITH PROBABLY VERY FEW LEFT
