Description

This is the first album by Soft Machine featuring Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt and the much-missed Kevin Ayers. I bought this album in 1968 and have looked after it pretty well, only playing it on a good quality turntable.

The condition is good to excellent. There is one visible scratch on side two, but I have listened to it recently and I cant hear it.
The cover is lightly scuffed as you would expect after 45 years, but still has the original rotating front insert.
I am no expert on pressing numbers but for interest here are the ones I can make out.

CPLP - 4500A - 2LW           P17
CPLP - 4500B - SB 255

This is a great chance to hear one of the most important groups from the prog rock era before they moved into Jazz Fusion, as intended with all the sound quality afforded by the vinyl format.
