ATTENTION PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS!    HERE'S A 1ST UK STEREO 1970 PRESSING OF THE OVERLOOKED IRON BUTTERFLY ALBUM: "METAMORPHOSIS". PRESSED ON THE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE POLYDOR PRESSED ATCO LABELS, IT HAD MINIMAL ATTENTION OR EXPOSRE IN THE UK,FAILING TO CHART AND AS SUCH THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN NICE CONDITION AS IN THIS EXAMPLE. MUSICALLY LOTS OF REALLY FINE GUITARWORK,LOVELY SWIRLING HAMMOND ORGAN AND BRILLIANT VOCALS! OF COURSE ONLY THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS HAD THE ATCO"WHITE BAND"+GREEN AND TAN LABEL DESIGN PRESSED UP BY POLYDOR-LATER REPRESSINGS HAVING DIFFERENT DESIGNS AND DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS! 2401003 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A//1 AND B//1 MATRIXES-LOTS OF BASS-THICK VINYL-FAR THICKER THAN THE WAFER THIN LATER 1970s/1980s REPRESSES.

THE DISC HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH THAT"JUST PRESSED"LOOK! JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! NO CLICKS! NO NASTY STICKS OR JUMPS! LOVELY WARM SOUND!PLAYS NICELY!STRICTLY GRADED EXCELLENT CONDITION!  CLEAN LABELS WITH HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR! 

THE TEXTURED EFFECT GATEFOLD COVER HAS NO WRITING OR REPAIRS! JUST A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE FRONT.STILL VERY PRESENTABLE! THE DISC IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS"INNER SLEEVE. This highly sought after album was from the collection of a very careful collector who has kept them carefully away from light and heat for ALMOST 43 years!

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

Most that were buying albums in 1970 were usually using dreadful equipment!

Stereo albums were often played on heavy equipment-sometimes even played on Mono equipment in error! 

An ideal opportunity to add a fine and rare album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
