    REVIEW FROM MUTANT-SOUNDS: Massive and totally drugged psych/prog brilliance from the early 70's Icelandic underground (yes, they had one too) with an almost absurdly wide remit and a capacity to spin on a dime and confound expectations. This blasts out of the gate on a thundering roar of acid wah-d psychotropic thuggery ala Yeti-era Amon Duul 2 before the clouds part and the voice of a hippy god resonantly intones pearls of cosmic inanity over a bed of meditational flutes and loudly throbbing hearts to significantly brain frying (and Don Robertson-like) effect. If this doesn't grip you by the short hairs, you're dead from the neck up or hate hippies, 'cause this shit is kissing the great cosmic beyond with some real throbbing intensity. Theirs is an often elaborately orchestrated sound redolent of everything from the symphonically bathed UK proto prog of Spring and Czar and the starry-eyed and Crosby, Stills and Nash-indebted early era of Yes to segments of maximal dancing fluti-ness and sharply chiming keys that exhibit an almost Italian library music-like angle ala something like Braens Machine while other passages of dead sharp pop prog tactics summon comparisons with Vangelis' old prog band Aphrodite's Child's and their seminal double album 666.


    THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST  STEREO PRESSING RECORDED IN MORGANS STUDIOS, SOUND TECHNIQUES IN LONDON 1971 ; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING. INSANELY RARE .


    :  PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)

    (Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from SOME OTHER auction. What you see is what you'll get.  GUARANTEED!)


    IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded! We  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight.

    WE WILL ALWAYS PREFER TO GRADE OUR RECORDS FAIRLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.


    CONDITION VINYL.

    VI LISTENED VINYL .

    THIS RECORD IS ONE OF THOSE THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO GRADE.

    VINYL IS NOT MINT OR NEAR MINT .

    SHINY VINYL WITH LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL ABRASIONS- SLEEVE SCUFFS AND COUPLE OF THE VISIBLE SCRATCHES / LINES ON THE BOTH SIDES WHEN YOU DON´T WATCH UNDER  THE STRONG LITE .

    WHEN YOU WATCH UNDER THE STRONG LITE YOU CAN SEE MANY  VISIBLE ABRASIONS, SCRATCHES  AND LINES ON BOTH SIDES.


    A SIDE: IS PLAYING WITH 9,10 CLICKS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE RECORD.

    THERE IS A AUDIBLE BACKGROUND NOISE. THE JOY OF THE MUSIC IS COMPLETE BECAUSE THE RECORD SOUNDS REALLY LOUD AND STRONG WITH THE BEAUTIFUL ANALOG SOUND BUT THERE IS AUDIBLE BACKGROUND NOISE  .IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDE A THERE ARE  A COUPLE OF POPS/CLICKS.

    THERE ARE SOMETIMES SMALL SOFTER CLICKS TOGETHER WITH BACKGROUND NOISE.(SPECIALLY ON THE FIRST HALF OF SIDE A).  BACKGROUND NOISE IS DEFINITELY A LESS AUDIBLE WHEN YOU LISTEN SECOND HALF OF THE SIDE A. 

    AUDIBLE BACKGROUND NOISE  IS LESS OR BETTER SAID LIGHTER AUDIBLE ON THE SECOND HALF OF THE SIDE A. THE GROOVE AND THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC TAKES OVER EVEN LESS AUDIBLE BACKGROUND NOISE ON THE OTHER HALF OF THE SIDE A.

    YOU CAN HEAR SOME BACKGROUND NOISE ON THE VERY END OF THE SIDE A  WHEN THEY GO DOWN IN THE GROOVE JUST TO END THE SONG(QUITE PART OF THE SONG)

    NO SKIPPING, NO JUMPING.


    B SIDE :

    B SIDE HAVE ALSO SOME AUDIBLE NOISE.( SPECIALLY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST SONG AND IN SOME QUITE PARTS OF THE RECORD) SOME LITE SOFTER CLIKS ONLY SOMETIMES(SPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RECORD, MAYBE 5,6 ON THE ONE PLACE). 

    THE MOST PARTS OF THIS RECORD SOUNDS LOUD AND INTENSIVE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL ANALOG SOUND, THAT MEANS THAT THE JOY AND SOUND OF THE MUSIC IS COMPLETE AND TAKES OVER CLICKS AND NOISY BACKGROUND,  IF SOME AUDIBLE NOISE BACKGROUND DOES NOT DISTURB YOU IN THE QUITE PARTS THAN RECORD IS FOR YOU.

    WE DONT KNOW HOW THE RECORD SOUNDING ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.

    NO SKIPPING NO JUMPING.

    IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN AND ENJOY THE RECORD AND ITS NOT DISTURBING  SO MUCH (ALL THE NOISE(OUR OPINION )) THEN THIS IS RECORD FOR YOU. BECAUSE RECORD IS REALLY KILLER AND INSANELY RARE.

    BUT IF YOU ARE SEARCHING AUDIOPHILE MINT OR NEAR MINT CONDITION THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

    WE ARE TRYING TO GRADE IT RIGHT AND WE DO OUR BEST.

    I HAD BEFORE TWO TIMES THIS RECORD BUT BOTH TIMES IT WAS IN A WORSE CONDITION THAN THIS ONE. BOTH OF THEM WERE SOLD.

    ALWAYS IS BETTER TO LISTEN PROG PEARLS LIKE THIS ONE.

    THIS EXAMPLE IS NOT SUPER MINT BUT FOR MUSIC LOVER  IS WORTH.

    INSANELY RARE RECORDS LIKE THIS ONE ARE WORTH TO HAVE ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY ARE ULTRA RARE.

    THANK YOU, PEACE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING 


    WE GRADE VINYL (WEAK)VG-(VERY GOOD MINUS)
