 1971 Ultra Heavy vinyl

Matrices: 1Y//1  2Y//1

Machined First UK press matrices: 1Y//1  and 2Y//1 the earliest possible issue and according to the mother stampers this copy is one of the very first issued in the first few days.  It is a very rare item which does hardly ever come up.

"Here's some explosive jazz-rock-fusion.  If Elastic Rock was more smooth, We'll Talk About It Later is louder and rocks harder.  "Song for the Bearded Lady" kicks ass in the jazzy sort of way, but the title track and "Oasis" are grower tracks that really bring out the best in the group.  The group tries vocals on the last two tracks which is really the only flaw as the music behind is the same great stuff.  The most underrated jazz album I've heard thus far."

ORIGINAL UK VERTIGO FIRST PRESSING (1971) OF Nucleus' "We'll Talk About It Later" IN EX CONDITION VINYL  AND DELIVERING BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN, NEAR SILENT AUDIO THROUGHOUT - WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND AS THE LP HAS MANY VERY QUIET MOMENTS WHICH ARE COMMONLY SPOILT BY EXCESSIVE SURFACE NOISE.

The apex of British jazz-rock fusion so hot, that your speakers will simply melt and your brains will have fried much before that. Un-mistakably the best album of Nucleus but also in the top 5 of all fusion albums including Miles, Mahavishnu etc.... If Elastic Rock (their debut) had given the tone both musically but pictorially also with the incredible Roger Dean cut-out cover of magma/lava about to burst out in the open, it is clear that this album betters it by not one notch but three.

"We'll talk about it later" is somehow not the best title for this album as this is a definitive statement if fusion. The sleeve artwork is again a Roger Dean gatefold cut-out work but not as impressive as the debut but the centre photos is about the Irish uprising in 1916, a recurrent theme in early Nucleus albums (four tracks over the first three albums). The power exudes from every one of these tracks and Bearded Lady , Sun Child , Oasis are incredibly hardcore but nowhere is this so evident than on the title track. In this track , Karl Jenkins saturates his organ to a level that even Banton, Lord, Emerson, Ratledge, Sinclair could not even imagine possible, but Chris Spedding comes in (like he does on the whole album ) with a brilliant guitar, subdued, awesomely restrained, powerful, fearful. In a word: Flabbergastingly breathless performance. The horn players can simply only sublimely accompany the Jenkins-Spedding duo , with John Marshall providing dantesque drumming, Clyne - although trying to add something simply gets drowned out in such a mass of molten and fused lava flowing from your speakers directly into your brains: orgasmic , orgiastic , stupendous!!!!!!!!!!

 Gatefold GIMMIX Sleeve:  VG+.  This classic original sleeve is matt and has a die cut window to the front which has one tear as can be seen in the picture. There is also a small tear on the top of the spine caused by the fact that, quite unusually, the vinyl has to be inserted into the sleeve from the inside gatefold at the centre. This action causes the spine to buckle and eventually tear. The die cut is nearly impossible to find without any damage as it easily catches on any obstruction whilst putting it back in the storage unit. I estimate that 90 to 95% of these sleeves will have similar damage and I have indeed never yet seen a perfect sleeve for this album. This album is 48 years old now and hardly ever comes up for sale now. It is one of the rarer Vertigo swirls. The spine is fully legible.

The original inner swirly sleeve is still present, but it has splits on all sides with sellotape attached to one side. I will send it along but send the vinyl in a fresh inner.

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.
