Description
You are bidding on THE ORIGINAL 1972 UK Pye 1st pressing of this legendary psych/prog rarity by Icarus! It rarely shows up for sale in the UK and, in my opinion, one of the rarest UK 1970's records out there. With the classic fully laminated 'comic' sleeve. I've included a number of photos but feel free to ask me anything that I've not covered, or not made clear.
Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.
FIRST RELEASED in 1972 IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED. IN FACT, IT WAS WITHDRAWN FROM SALE ONLY DAYS AFTER RELEASE - DUE TO COPYRIGHT ISSUES. BARELY ANY COPIES WERE EVER MADE - AND AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1972 UK 1ST PRESSING (A1/B1)
Record: The audio is a strong VG+, probably VG++. Nice sheen and a good sound. Has a couple of minor marks/hairlines but nothing serious. Plays very well.
Sleeve: VG. No major issues, just general wear. Please have a good look at the photos, I've tried to show every issue - (creased - just next to 'The Hulk's' foot on the rear of the sleeve, rubbing/wear to the spine and slight 'laminate lift' - front cover near the spine, the opening of the sleeve does not quite lie flat - at the top of the sleeve on the right, again it's nothing major but I'm trying to describe the item with as much detail as possible.)
Comments: 1st UK press. Overall, a good copy with nice sound.
Any questions - please ask.
All my records and CD's are very well packed in thick cardboard (check out the feedback). I like my items to arrive in the same condition that they left me.
Postage, very good packing and insurance.
Europe: £18.00
USA: £25.00
Rest of the World: £25.00
