Description
Hello there. I'm selling my much loved vinyl collection that I've accumulated over the last 60 years because we have moved house and simply don't have the room anymore. This vinyl is in EXCELLENT condition. This RARE EARLY PRESSING was bought brand new and has been very well looked after, although general wear and tear of the record sleeve comes with the age (if there are any minor scuffs to the record sleeve, they are illustrated in the photographs). The sleeve is in VERY GOOD PLUS condition. I would like it to go to a good home.
Any questions, please ask away. . .

Notes
Original UK release, black and white labels.Recorded at: The Manor/Autumn 1972 Spring 1973.
"In Glorious Stereophonic Sound.
Can also be played on mono-equipment at a pinch."
"This stereo record cannot be played on old tin boxes no matter what they are fitted with. If you are in possession of such equipment please hand it to the nearest police station."
At the time the recording was made at The Manor studio, some of the recording equipment wasn't properly shielded, so the carrier wave (or Morse code) transmission from GBR (the nearby Rugby transmitter) was recorded on the master tape - possibly without the audio engineer's knowledge! This is quite low in frequency & quite inaudible unless you have suitable Hi-Fi equipment.
