BACK IN THE EARLY 1970s,THERE WAS MINIMAL ATTENTION,PROMOTION AND SALES FOR THIS LP,WHICH WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE!  LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL UK 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT AND THAT IS BEING MEGA STRICT! WOW! WHAT A FANTASTIC RECORD OF GENUINE UPGRADER STANDARD! IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.I STRUGGLED TO HEAR MUCH SURFACE NOISE AT ALL! CLEARLY A COPY THAT HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS IN 45 YEARS! A PROGRESSIVE ROCK RECORD COLLECTORS DREAM COMING TRUE FOR ONCE!    STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! MOST WOULD STATE MINT!  NO SPINDLE WEAR.CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "MADE IN ENGLAND" CREDIT WHICH HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.    

THE COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES,A SMALL PREVIOUS OWNER'S SIGNATURE AND A TINY SPOT TEAR AT THE BACK TOP CORNER BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WRITING,NO RIPS,STAINING OR REPAIRS.VERY PRESENTABLE.

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE!

MORE IF ALBUMS AND OTHER GREAT AND SERIOUSLY RARE PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs FROM ME ON EBAY FOR AUCTION WITHIN TWO HOURS OF THIS AUCTION ENDING IN THE SAME STAGGERING STANDARD CONDITION!.

FOR PEACE OF MIND AND AS THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEND THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IN A SAFE,SOLID PARCEL BUT PERSONAL COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH IS WELCOME AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!  

Checkout my  feedback of over 18,000 comments of my standards and service many from some of the world's most respected collectors and dealers.Always adding quality Records, cd's and related items to ebay several times a week. Customers from all over the world regard my ebay selections as the #1 for QUALITY,VARIETY AND SERVICE.

UK Customers are very welcome to collect ebay winnings by prior email  arrangement. 12 years on ebay  and many more before as a keen collector! Thanks for looking and good luck.
