  NEKTAR "Remember The Future" 1973 QUADRAPHONIC MINT ONE TRACK PROG EPIC w/ SENSATIONAL AUDIO THROUGHOUT
NEKTAR
Remember The Future

ORIGINAL BELLAPHON RECORDS (BLPS 19164Q) FIRST QUADRAPHONIC PRESSING (1973) OF NEKTAR'S FANTASTIC PROG EPIC "Remember The Future" - COMPRISED OF ONE LONG 36 MINUTE TRACK!!
THIS QUADRAPHONIC MIX WAS ONLY EVER ISSUED IN GERMANY BY BELLAPHON, THE GROUPS LONG STANDING LABEL WHO ISSUED THEIR 1971 DEBUT "Journey to the Centre of the Eye" WHICH WAS NEVER RELEASED IN THE UK

AND THIS COPY IS IN BEAUTIFUL, BARELY PLAYED CONDITION DELIVERING SENSATIONAL MINT AUDIO THROUGHOUT - SUPERB COPY AND PRETTY HARD TO BEAT

FIRST QUAD MATRIX: BLPS 19164 - A - 2 / BLPS 19164 - B - 2 (both machine stamped) - this quad mix was later reissued (Bellaphon 260-09-004) in 1982 but this is the first pressing form 1973

Among Nektar fans, there are many who consider Remember the Future to be the band's creative peak. The album certainly creates the grounds for making that argument. Indeed, it is an ambitious work that is essentially one composition divided into two parts. The whole is performed in a very seamless and competent manner. Still, many critics just plain didn't get it. The juxtaposition of the two opinions makes this album to Nektar much like what Tales From Topographic Oceans was to Yes. The bottom line is that this is a fine progressive rock release that should please not only fans of the band, but fans of Yes and Genesis equally well

SUPERB ORIGINAL 1973 QUAD COPY FROM THE RELATIVELY OBSCURE CULT/PROG NEKTAR - DELIVERING SENSATIONAL AUDIO THROUGHOUT - FANTASTIC PIECE OF WORK AND VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

LABELS: The labels are CLEAN and BRIGHT with NO wear, NO writing and only one or two light and barely noticeable spindle traces - THIS COPY HAS SEEN VERY, VERY LITTLE PLAY
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their DEEP, GLOSSY SHEEN and are UNMARKED. The record is LIKE-NEW
VINYL Audio: The audio is CRYSTAL CLEAR, VERY STRONG, RICH and VIBRANT. TREMENDOUS CUT. On playback at a LOUD volume there are NO scratches, NO sticks/jumps, NO clicks or pops and NO surface noise . The album plays BEAUTIFULLY THROUGHOUT to an extremely high standard with SUPERB CLARITY, NO distortion and NO groove-wear and is graded MINT for audio - SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL
SLEEVE: The THICK CARD gatefold sleeve is EXCELLENT. Being predominantly black this is a very difficult sleeve to find in anything even approaching MINT but this one has held up remarkably well. There is very little wear to its edges or spine - where all text is CLEAR and BOLD and there is very little rubbing to the surfaces (just a little towards the top and bottom front and back). Very fine example of this incredibly easily worn sleeve

Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
