Audio
Soft machine plays backing on Song for Insane and Bob Wyatt plays most of the drum tracks. Instrumentation is heard in sensational style. Any surface is heard at a distance as tones have that extra loud cut engineering and are exceptionally clear, with no distortion and have a definitive edge! Electronics, flute and piccolo are superb! Guitar strings range from Electric, Spanish, Hawaiian through to Italian.
Side 1 Ex/Ex+
Side 2 Ex-/Ex (Some distant static during one or two tracks, as a result of dust accumulating in the grooves over the years).
Awesome folk/rock psyche and becoming seriously RARE
