So, so hard to find, VDGG's all time classic album and here it is where it all came together from start to finish although the three predecessors were awesome in their own right!! Splendid maniacal existential prog album in great EX condition!! This is grandeur from the first note till the very last. I am very happy to be able to present this fantastic and ULTRA rare album. This will be a great first acquisition as well as a terrific upgrade!!!

THE  VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

SO HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN THIS GREAT CONDITION AND WITH THE BLACK LYRIC SHEET. THIS WILL BE AN UPGRADE FOR MOST SERIOUS COLLECTORS. IT IS VERY HARD THESE DAYS TO STILL FIND THIS GEM IN THIS SMASHING CONDITION. IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN IN THIS SPLENDID CONDITION WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

Vinyl: EX. A couple of really light hairlines only. Audio is A++ and this ultra heavy vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic album that went unnoticed. The audio has beautiful separation and there is hardly any background noise. I played this twice in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed mega rare now. A small name on the B side label. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

Gatefold Sleeve: EX+.  Fantastic looked after sleeve without any wear or damage.  Not any creases at all, unbelievable!! A tiny little nick near the inside top left corner is all that detracts from grading this even higher. The pictures tell all!!! There are not even any creases and no edge wear. Fantastic controversial inner sleeve with the infamous salute. No writing, no marks , one of the best I have ever come across!! The spine is also 100% legible. The opening is super crisp. On opening the sleeve you can hear that satisfying "creak" showing that the album is still in an over the counter condition.This is the ultimate upgrade copy!!

The  lyric sheet is also still there, it is in 90% of the cases not present. Uncreased and has a small oil stain near the bottom. It is lightly yellowed on the reverse. 

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!!

For international postage a tracking fee will be applied if the album sells for over £30.00. This is the actual Royal Mail fee and also insures the album. I do not gain on postage and instead have to pay a percentage of this to Ebay.

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