PLEASE CONSIDER THAT IN THESE EBAY AUCTIONS I USE A STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM THAT CAN'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT ,FOR EXAMPLE,  A VG+ COVER OR A VG+ VINYL  IT'S EQUIVALENT TO "BAD CONDITIONS" BUT SIMPLY THAT MY GRADE IT'S STRICT AND PROBABLY EQUIVALENT TO AN EX OF SOMEONE ELSE WITH  NOT A SO STRICT GRADE. I HAVE SOLD IN THESE AUCTIONS EX- RECORDS THAT WERE SURELLY M- COPIES BUT I PREFERE TO BE STRICT TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTEMENT BECAUSE I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY REPUTATION.


graded VG+/VG++ for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system


label: The original danish pressed label it's in very nice conditions without spindle marks and nothing else so EX.
cover: The cover it's matt and does have some minor general wear like corners slightly bumped, some creases and minor dirty surface because the cover it's not laminated but has some sort of glossy surface very prone to the dirt hence a can say VG+.
vinyl: The vinyl does not have marks but just some hairline type marks I've played it with a full enjoyement and I have heard some super minimal and shorts background crackles in the last track side one or the first part of the first track side two but nothing to worry ABSOLUTELLY and this is at least a VG++ vinyl
review:  Taken from Progressive Archives: "The second album of this Danish group has very similar sound textures as their first album, having acoustic, carefully constructed harmonies analogue organs and beautiful singing melodies painting lush feelings, being paired with upright rock'n'roll passages. In addition of the more delicate and dynamic parts, there are also some quite straightforward and more unimaginative moments here, like the track "Classified Adds", a phenomena which exists also on their first album. The beginning of the fourth tune "Late Night Woman Blues" returns back to more ethereal feelings, morphing as a traditional blues number with acoustic slide guitars and amplified rhythm guitars. The fifth song "Mind Pollution / Weather Report" starts then as a more traditional sounding folk number, with still some bluesy element echoing underneath the dreamy sequence, later opening up as a more straightforward rocker. Though there are quite basic rock sequences in this music, the tracks evolve in pleasant way from one feeling and element to another, creating nice contrasts and increasing the musical content to the conventional rock'n'roll passages, making the music pulse with feelings. Again on the next song "Autumn of It All" track the music returns to the folky moods, and the last song "Satisfied Mind" continues the folk style, but maybe moving towards more American country folk music, a style where I understood that part of the band members moved after this release. Though there's some skillful rock jamming on the presented themes in the end of the song, maybe this track wasn't my cup of tea still. This probably won't make their stuff more poorer, but it surely makes this more mainstream music in my opinion. If you like bands like LED ZEPPELIN, URIAH HEEP, NAZARETH, THE WHO etc. and want to check out something more exotic but little similar, I would recommend this record and also the first album of CULPEPER'S ORCHARD as exceptionally good targets for purchasing and listening! PS. The album cover picture is done by the Swedish artist John Bauer, and the work is named as "Ännu sitter Tuvstarr kvar och ser ner i vattnet" ("Tuvstarr is still sitting there wistfully looking into the water") from the year 1913. If the style of the illustration should please you, try searching works with his name, as there are much more in my opinion very beutiful fantasy themed works from him available! ... Don't miss!
