THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS LP SOLD VIRTUALLY NOTHING IN THE UK ON RELEASE IN 1970 AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE AS A UK 1ST PRESSING AND IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS EXTREMELY SOUGHT AFTER - AS IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' EXAMPLES OF PSYCH/FUNK - WITH 3 OR 4 OF THE TRACKS BEING IN A SIMILAR STYLE TO FUNKADELIC (WHO ALSO RELEASED LPS ON PYE AT THIS TIME)!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND HAS AMAZINGLY ON EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 PYE INTERNATIONAL 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS BLUE PYE LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE AND 1ST PRESS FULLY LAMINATED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This the ORIGINAL UK 1st Pressing from 1970 and is in SUPERB condition!!!! The record is pressed on thick quality vinyl. The Cat. No is NSPL 28140 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Pye Label (see picture) and is a UK 1970 Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and AMAZINGLY only 1 TINY spindle mark!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!! The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!

The 1st Press FULLY LAMINATED Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), STUNNING shiny laminate, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the laminated back is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!
