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.

VERTIGO Records 6360 046
1970's 2nd issue Spaceship Label issue LP
2 ft x 3 ft, 6-PANEL Fold-Out Cover! ROGER DEAN Artwork MADE in ENGLAND
.
VINYL is EX+
Very close to NM wax, with just an extremely few finest sleeve hairlines, viewed under hard bright light. LP plays superb throughout. Labels are pristine both sides.
.
COVER is VG/VG+
Vivid, unfaded fold-out cover has stress wear at seams and, like almost every one of these (indeed much better than most) still found today, tiny wear-through holes at panel intersecting corners. Still glorious when folded out or folded back down to LP size.
STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE VISUAL GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG
Deeply psyched out Prog tripper for your ears and your wall...?
Rare UK progressive psych from 1971 - 2nd issue with "Spaceship" labels - which were never more perfect for a VERTIGO album! The Roger Dean cover art is, of course, it's own "spaceship": a cathedral spire-turned rocket, blasting into space, one of Dean's coolest concepts and greatest works -and his only real foray into gothic imagery ...still very surreal of course as is everything he did....
RAMASES leader, Martin Raphael had a vision somewhere in the mid to late sixties where the Egyptian Pharao Ramases informed him he was his new incarnation on earth and he had to inform the people about the truth of the universe. Ramases released two LPs (one with the group later known as 10cc as backing band) and a few singles together with his wife, who used the names Sel (2), Selket or Seleka. After the second album he faded into obscurity. He died in 1978 when he reportedly committed suicide. . TRACKLISTSIDE ONE
