Future Focus band members Thijs Van Leer and Jan Akkerman play on this excellent rare album. On this this copy the matrix numbers in the run-offs have been scratched out and then corrected.

This is a barely played 1971 uk nepentha first pressing of the excellent super-rare psych-folk-prog album by Robin Lent. This very rare album was released on the very short lived nepentha record label in 1971, and just like the 'Earth & Fire, Zior, Pete Dello' & 'Dulcimer' nepentha albums this Robin Lent LP sold only a few copies and then sank without a trace, and so finding an original copy in excellent condition today is very near impossible.

This copy has the vinyl in superb barely played condition, there are no bad surface marks at all and both sides play and sound superb throughout. The labels are in brilliant clean condition and cannot be faulted. The matt gatefold sleeve has some obvious storage, edge and spine wear but this sleeve is still in very good condition. This is a excellent all round copy of a very rare musically excellent folk-psych-prog album that very rarely gets offered for sale.

1St PRESS STEREO VINYL = EX++ TO NM

The first press stereo vinyl is in brilliant very-clean playing condition and grades EX+ to near mint. Both sides still have that brilliant just pressed appearance, there are no visible surface marks, scuffs or scratches at all and both sides look very close to new condition, in stronger light there are just some very hard to spot very fine sleeve withdrawal traces. All tracks play superbly well throughout with no loud clicks or pops and no annoying loud crackle, there is the absolute minimal amount of occasional extremely light hiss/crackle only and this really is almost none at all as both sides play and sound as close to new as you will find. This record has obviously only ever had just a few careful plays since new so the sound quality still has a excellent clear clarity throughout. The winning bidder will definitely not be disappointed with this brilliant looking/playing/sounding original uk 1st pressing of this superb very rare nepentha label acid-psych-folk-prog album.

LABELS = NEAR MINT

Both nepentha labels are in brilliant clean wear free condition and look as new.

MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE = VERY GOOD+

The matt gatefold cover was made and printed in the uk by Howards Printers Ltd of Slough. This cover grades very good to very good+ on the outside and excellent+ on the inside. The front and back has some noticeable storage wear, a few tiny marks and a couple of very small sticker removal traces. The top and bottom edges and the spine have consistent shelf/storage wear but there are no splits. The inside gatefold has no problems and is in ex+ very clean condition. This matt gatefold cover actually still looks fine and has no major defects, it was not kept in a protective plastic cover so it just suffers from common outside storage/shelf and edge/spine wear.
