I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL LP RARITY FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! A FANTASTIC ALBUM BY JETHRO TULL,  STUPENDOUSLY CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP . A MUST FOR ANY PROG COLLECTOR.

Vinyl: EX+ to NM.  The audio is fantastic and this vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic album that became an absolute gold standard classic. The audio has beautiful separation and there is barely any background noise. I played this twice in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are NO marks NO hairlines etc. Under a few light wispy paper retraction traces are visible. In normal daylight it looks totally flawless. Played in full on my Linn Sondek/ Rotel/B&W set-up. Needless to say NO jumps, sticks, clicks or ticks. The audio of this recording is simply outstanding and will be an upgrade to most collectors. 

 Gatefold Sleeve: EX++. Fully textured first press sleeve without any damage and magnificent full rounded colours. This also contains the lyric inner sleeve in EX condition with two small seam splits. This is a most vulnerable sleeve as the textured surface is prone to rub wear. This stunning sleeve has been well protected all those years, coming up to 46 now, by a caring meticulous prog collector.  The edges are fantastic with barely any wear at all. Totally impossible and I have never seen this beautiful condition before for this sleeve. The spine is still 100% legible and has one small ding in the centre.  On that account EX+. NO writing, NO splits, NO tears etc. Above all NO creases and sits perfectly flat. The pictures tell all.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
