 1968

The original mono and stereo vinyl LP’s in their award-winning revolutionary round sleeves were incredible. Unfortunately, subsequent editions on vinyl, tape and CD all suffered from varying sound quality, distortion, incorrect edits and fades and poor packaging which was unacceptable for such a historic and important album. The original stereo albums are the better of the two aurally, and the recorded sound is breathtaking. As this was still the era of mono, the stereo is far harder to find these days.

MATRIX NUMBERS IN RUN-OFF GROOVES: SIDE A: IMSP 012 1Y-2 / SIDE B: IMSP 012 - 2Y

MOTHER No. SIDE A: G / SIDE B: GD  These mother stampers are incredibly early (the earliest possible in fact) and most likely first week of issue!!

Vinyl: EX.  A splendid heavy vinyl that sounds marvellous all the way through.  It has only a couple of wispy retraction type paper traces and incredibly there are NO hairlines and NO scratches at all. A totally well cared for album which are few and far between for this album. Of course this is the earliest ultra heavy quality vinyl being an original first press with the very first  matrices and earliest mother stampers.  Not very many out there left now so late in the day .... how many would there realistically be in this gorgeous condition?? Most copies found these days are trashed and unworthy. What a delight to find this stunner! Tested on my trusted Linn Sondek/Rotel/Technics set-up and it sounded fantastic!

Gimmix sleeve: EX+.  An incredible design and because of it very very vulnerable. The five round disc panels are kept together by very thin seams which would tear with the smallest of wrong moves. I have made a close-up picture to show you just how intricate the joint really is. As a result this sleeve can barely ever be found without repairs of some kind. This sleeve has totally weathered all storms and is in a unique over the counter condition. Every joint is perfect. Get this while you still can. I don't think I will see another one for a long long time.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00.  These fees in England have gone up significantly last May. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

***This is a unique prime investment opportunity!!! Finding this classic album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is  a great and seriously collectable super album!!  You will buy into a piece of  superb prog history.*** 

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
