Steamhammer, Reflection 

Original UK Orange CBS 63611 from 1968.
Very rare (their rarest) great progressive blues rock with fantastic great guitars, vocals, and really cool melodies.

EX- / EX-

Record / cover

Flat disc is visually EX- but plays much better (see play grade description below) - A1 / B1 first pressing matrix.
Labels have lots of spindle marks (see photo) near center hole but have no other issues.

Record is EX- visually but because of the deep grooves and because very light hairlines are at the surface, the record plays very well.
Record plays EX to M- (mostly M-) and is very enjoyable with undistorted clear dynamic sound.  This is a very strong pressing.
The guitars and vocals etc. come through very strong and clear.

Inside insert gatefold cover has a very nice overall presentation; there is virtually no wear on the front, back, and inside surfaces.
Flaws include a little wear along the top and bottom edges and moderate wear to the leading edge of the spine.
Like most copies, the spine is no longer square and offset with a leading edge where the wear occurs.
The part of the spine that is not leading is very nice.
There are some very light creases to the edges and some light bending (mostly at the bottom left).
There is very light bulging at the back.
Despite all of these flaws the cover presents well due to lack of wear on the face surfaces.

UK Poly lined inner sleeve is not original to the LP.
