Description
A HUGE opportunity!
This is a gem of a debut album of an extremely professional and musical group who started in the folk scene but quickly moved on to a more progressive crossover style. This is an early (first?) pressing of their debut album which I have owned from new, played a great deal but which is still in very good condition and plays flawlessly. The cover is very good and shiny with slight wear on top and bottom edges. Matrix nos. 138165 1Y//1 420 1 2 4 and 138165 2Y//1 420 1 1 1.
Regretfully for sale only because I am downsizing and won't have room for a lot of 'stuff' from my past!

Condition as per the "Record Collector Rare Price Guide - Grading System" (see below) is (EX) EXCELLENT
Record Collector Rare Price Guide - Grading System
(M) MINT: - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
(EX) EXCELLENT: - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
(VG) VERY GOOD: - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
(G) GOOD: - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
(F) FAIR: - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
(P) POOR: - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
(B) BAD: - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
