A real beauty and in excellent condition.
Complete with original Harvest advertising inner sleeve in remarkable condition. No seam splits and no discoloration ! Excellent + with no rips/tears and hardly any creasing to observe.
Labels
Yellow/green Harvest label format with NO EMI box confirming a very early FIRST UK pressing of this impossible to find album presentation!!! Excellent condition with spiderlines . NO mottling. NO peeling. NO graffiti. NO rip. NO tears. Fantastic examples.
Vinyl
Thick press. Unfeelable surface marks/scuffs on both sides. Well played but carefully looked after. Such rarity these days and impossible to locate.Lovely appearance.Very good visual with NO scratches !!Retains a very good sheen. Perfectly flat with no undulations on playing deck.
Audio
Exceptionally clear channels. An unbelievable aural delivery. Promise that this will not disappoint! The drum beats have a superb mellow warmth. The presentation is organ/guitar driven with excellent percussion support and clever vocalisations. Psychedelic blues mixed with progressive rock at its very best !!! The lightest of static occasionally detected during the quieter parts but heard well into the distance and the channels maintain a high standard of delivery throughout this awesome classic. Harpsichord strings are a sheer delight and are conveyed with a clear , sharp definition. Sensational delivery and will be hard pressed to locate better. Excellent audio and considerably better in many parts!
Carefully handled and an extremely rare record release, highly sought after and a must have for the serious vinyl enthusiast! Proving to be very elusive and becoming harder and harder to locate these days , especially in this remarkable condition.
Simply awesome!
