PLAYS OUTSTANDING, AND AN A3 / B3 EALRY UK 1ST PRESS, WITH FULLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD, WITH TITLE AND BAND NAME OUTLINED IN SILVER, ALSO NO 'MADE IN ENGLAND' ON THE LABELS, AND ALSO, NO 'V' UNDER, 'K50012' ALSO ON THE LABELS, AND ORIGINAL GREEN LYRIC INNER !!!!!
PLAYS AWESOME, AND WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANOTHER WITH BETTER AUDIO !!!!
THIS IS YES, AND IN MY OPINION IN THE TOP THREE GREATEST PROG ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME. FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND THEY ARE STILL PERFORMING TODAY. THIS IS THEIR BRILLIANT 5th ALBUM, RELEASED ON 8th SEPTEMBER 1972, AND LIKE ALL THERE ALBUMS , A TRUE PROG ROCK MASTERPIECE, AND IT WILL BE SADLY MISSED FROM MY PERSONAL TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1972 UK EARLY 1ST PRESS :: K 50012  A3 ::  K 50012  B3 . 
ON THE ORANGE AND GREEN ATLANTIC LABEL :: K 50012 .
NO 'MADE IN UK' ON THE LABELS 
NO 'V' UNDER 50012 ON THE LABELS .

COVER ::  THIS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD IS FULLY TEXTURED INSIDE AND OUT, WITH THE THE BANDS NAME AND TITLE, OUTLINED IN SILVER, AND IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION, WITH BEAUTIFUL SPINE AND EDGES WITH JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND JUST A SMALL AND A TINY MARK ON THE FRONT, AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO. NOW THIS WOULD HAVE GRADED EX+, BUT WITH THOSE TWO MARKS AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO, I WOULD GRADE THIS LOVELY ORIGINAL  :: EX .

VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS OUTSTANDING, AND EVEN BETWEEN ALL TRACKS, THERE IS NO STATIC, CRACKLE, JUMPS, STICKS, SKIPS, POPS, OR CLICKS, AND UNLESS YOU HAVE A SEALED MINT ONE THEN YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER AUDIO, AND ALL I HEARD WAS .....

JUST ONE SINGLE VERY FAINT TICK AFTER THE START OF TRACK 1, ON SIDE 2, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!

VISUALLY, JUST IMPRESSIVE, AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A LONG TOTALLY HARMLESS HAIRLINE ACROSS SIDE 1, WHICH IS ONLY SEEN WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT !!!!

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE AUDIO GRADE, AND HONESTLY AS CLOSE AS YOU WILL GET TO A FINAL UPGRADE FOR THE OUTSTANDING CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO, WITH JUST LITERALLY ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK !!!! SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::  NEAR MINT .

LABELS :: AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE  ::  EX .

ORIGINAL GREEN LYRIC INNER WITH SQUARE CORNERS :: THERE IS A TINY SEAM SPLIT ON ONE SIDE EDGE, AND SOME CELLO TAPE IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A SMALL TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE ON ONE SIDE ONLY REPAIRED WITH CELLO TAPE, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE :: VG/VG+ . 

SO TO SOME UP, ORIGINAL EARLY UK A3 / B3 1ST PRESS, AND IN OUTSTANDING ALL ROUND CONDITION, BUT THERE IS SOME MINOR DAMAGE ON THE INNER, AND THEY RARELY TURN UP IN THIS CONDITION, ESPECIALLY WITH AMAZING CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO, LIKE THIS ONE HAS, AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST PROG ROCK ALBUMS OF ALL TIME !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
