Some words on this issue: SOFT MACHINE: “S/T” (Probe – CPLP-4500) Perfect copy! First original pressing in TOP condition. In 1968 Soft Machine toured the USA, opening for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. During this tour, they recorded their first album, The Soft Machine, in New York. Disbanded after Ayers's amicable departure at the end of this tour, Soft Machine reformed with former road manager and composer Hugh Hopper on bass added to Wyatt and Ratledge, to record their second album in 1969. First original pressing of the original trio line-up. Top copy, jacket has zero ring wear – which is no mean feat – and NO drill hole and record is super clean, nearly impossible for this disc.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
