THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST UK PROG PRIVATE PRESSINGS EVER MADE - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1972 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, ONLY 99 COPIES WERE EVER MADE AND IT WAS THEN IMMEDIATELY DELETED FOREVER!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!! NOT ONLY THAT - BUT THIS LP IS ALSO TOP CLASS MUSICALLY, AND SURPASSES ALL EXPECTATIONS!!!! SO MANY PRIVATE PRESSINGS THAT TURN UP FOR SALE TODAY - EITHER HAVE TERRIBLE AMATEUR MUSICIANS, OR THE MUSIC IS SIMPLY APPALLING!!!! BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!! ALL THE BANDMEMBERS ON THIS LP ARE CLEARLY OF THE VERY HIGHEST QUALITY (AND SURELY MUST HAVE PLAYED SESSION ON MANY OTHER LPs!!!!) - WITH SUPERB ELECTRIC GUITAR WORK (USING FENDER GUITARS) AND SUPERB VOCALS!!!! SO NOT ONLY IS THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY - BUT IT IS TOP CLASS MUSICALLY TOO!!!! MANY COLLECTORS WONT EVEN HAVE HEARD OF THIS LP (THOUGH IT IS VERY HIGHLY RATED BY THOSE THAT HAVE!) - BUT IF YOU ARE A FAN OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK, THEN THIS LP IS COMPLETELY UNMISSABLE!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1972 UK (PRIVATE) 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS 'TEXTURED' SRT LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'MIRO PRESS' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL SRT UK 1st Pressing from 1972 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SRT 72226 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press SRT Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! There is also some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps (NOT in the music!) - though this is completely unavoidable on this Private Pressing - and EXACTLY as this record was pressed!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Miro Press' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has barely ANY edge wear AT ALL, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO sticker tears, NO splits, only the MEGA faintest touch of fading, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! BRILLIANT COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
