From my own vast private collection gathered over last 45+ years ...these mostly from 1973 - 1978 I had my own Record Store here in Northern California in the 1970's and 80's -and bringing in wonderfully vibrant and amazing Progressive Rock Imports was a top specialty and priority - I was (still am) so nuts about this music that I had 3 different evolving weekly Radio Programs dedicated to it over 20 years - and loved nothing more than turning folks on to these bands and immersing myself and my audience in these exotic sounds. Now it is finally time for me to pass them on - my hardest LPs to part with, some 8 boxes of which I shall be listing throughout this Spring. Many of the leading progenitors of the 1st progressive era, but quite a few more obscure but no less amazing artists of the period. . *Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and can only get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming approximately every other week (as I pause between, to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) so keep checking back.
This leads me to the subject of "collecting" purchases for combined shipping with further purchases, which some ask for. I am happy to save LPs that are purchased for up to 30 days IF YOU ASK Me to - but I MUST receive payment within 7 days of initial purchase. I honestly cannot afford to sell these and not get paid by big buyers for 30 days. I would be absolutely ruined - so payment must be received within 7 days of purchase. Your note on your PayPal payment to HOLD items for combined shipping later (no more than 30 days out) will guarantee their being saved aside for your further bidding. When you state that you are done, your invoice will be revised to reflect complete shipping discount at that time. If you DO NOT ASK me to hold, it will Ship within 24 hours. CHECK MY FEEDBACK, I am ALWAYS 100% RELIABLE on this. International bidders note that any package over 4 Lbs. (usually 5 to 6 LPs or more) MUST ship by PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL. US Post Office no longer ships above that weight at the lower, slower 1st Class International rate. . The vinyl here is in uniformly spectacular condition (Most being EX+ to NM) always extremely carefully handled. Some of the covers have minor issues - a small handful have significant issues, but the great majority are in VG+ to EX+ condition. Almost everything offered here is Original 1st Press - Full Details for each given in Description below.
SPECIAL NOTE: I had planned SOUND CLIPS to accompany many of these listings, but the online AUDIO FILE host/management site I use has now gone bust, NEVERTHELESS, I (not knowing) did indeed record a slew of sound clips. If you are curious on any of these, ask me  - and if I have made the short mp3 samples for it, I will try to get it to you.

VINYL is EX+
Gleaming gloss Audiophile Grade vinyl is extremely clean with only a very few, very faint surface marks that are inaudible. Labels are immaculate both sides.
. PLEASE NOTE: My camera is absolutely TERRIBLE at representing BLACK print on RED background ... Sharp, crisp text print (like this label has) ends up looking blurry, faded and washed out. This is purely a digital transfer artifact and does not reflect on the excellent quality of the solid, sharp print on these labels.
COVER is EX
Super clean, snapping bright, top-opening cover with gold embossed titles is crisp, flat and straight edged all around; One spot of very light wear on back; lightly bumped corners. No writing, creases or soil. Seams and spine are completely intact with no splits.

Recorded at Sound Of Poppy Studio From August 13th to August 22th 1980 Mastered at Sound Of Poppy Studio From August 25th to August 31th 1980

Extremely cosmic throughout; in turns spacy swirling synths/electronics and heavy fuzzed guitar Acid Psych Prog. a mostly unknown Private Press, it has caught the attention of  some top long-time prog/psych collectors and is featured in Hans Pokora's "Record Collector Dreams" book. This is a stunning MUST HAVE for any and all serious Prog/Psych collections. There just aren't enough of these around to begin to fill those collections though. Made in very small numbers as a private pressing back in 1980 - never reissued.
The only album this group of Japanese space travelers ever issued.
It's almost crazy to sell this now, when my sound clips hosting service is unavailable ... you don't KNOW this album, right?  Maybe you are in the 3% out there who DO know it... If not, feel free to ask for the sound clips. If you heard it you would NOT let it get away.  Trust me... it is very very good.
