Description

 The Aerosol Grey Machine is the first album by the British Progressive band Van der Graaf Generator.

 

 

It was released in September 1969.

The album was originally intended as a solo album by the band's lead singer and main songwriter, Peter Hammill. When the band was signed to Charisma Records, a deal was worked out whereby The Aerosol Grey Machine would be released under the Van der Graaf Generator name, in return for Mercury Records releasing Hammill from his earlier contract with them.



I have listened to Van der Graaf for 40 years now and remember that they kept changing their lineup slightly, with Peter Hammill, Guy Evans and Hugh Banton being the main protaganists on this album.

The vinyl is very unusual and perhaps rare? As You can see from the photo, the 'Mercury' label is unusually a mustard colour with the words “Promotional copy not for sale”. (The 5B DJ label). The vinyl is in excellent condition, with the tinniest of 'tics' in a couple of places.

The sleeve almost looks like it's just come off the press.
