ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PROG ROCK ALBUM FROM ATOMIC ROOSTER. IN MY OPINION THEIR BEST ALBUM BY A STREET. 

THIS IS ALSO BEING 'PEG 1' THE FIRST LP RELEASED ON THIS SHORT LIVED LABEL. A SUBSIDIARY OF THE B & C LABEL WHICH WAS OWNED BY TROJAN. THE LABEL WAS SHORTENED TO PEG AND FINALLY CHANGED TO THE MOONCREST LABEL

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABEL ON SIDE 'A' IS IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAVE NO WEAR OR RUBBING AT ALL

THE FLIP SIDE HAS ALL THE TRACK LISTINGS AND ALSO HAS A TEXTURED BASE WHITE COLOUR THAT IS UNSOILED AND STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE.

THERE IS JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINE SEEN ONLY THROUGH A MAGNIFYING GLASS, SHOWING HOW AND WHY THIS HAS REMAINED VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED IN 50 YEARS

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS BARELY SEEN A TURNTABLE IN ITS 50 YEARS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

PLAYING THE RECORD

THIS SUPERB VINYL PLAYS FAULTLESSLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THE SOUND IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAR AND NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS EITHER

EACH TRACK PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION AND AS I MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING , THIS I BELIEVE IS ROOSTER'S FINEST RECORDING. ALL I HEARD WAS A FEW RANDOM SEMI SECONDS OF LIGHTLY AUDIBLE STATIC, MAINLY ON SIDE TWO

AND ABOUT 1-2 TINY TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC PROG ALBUM

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS (SIDE ONE) NEAR MINT (SIDE TWO)

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB ROGER DEAN ARTWORK ON THIS E.J.DAY AND CO UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT FLAW ON THE SLEEVE. IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER THERE IS A PAPER PULL CIRCLE WHERE A STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED AT SOME POINT

THIS IS A REAL SHAME BECAUSE WITHOUT THIS TRHE SLEEVE WOULD EASILY BE MINT MINUS

THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE AS MENTIONED HAS THIS WHITE CIRCLE OF STICKER REMOVAL. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT HAS NOT IMPACTED THE LETTERING WHATSOEVER JUST THE SKY IN THAT CORNER

SO OTHER THAN THIS THE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNRUBBED 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 99% IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE VERY DELICATE COLOURS ALL THERE AND JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS STILL THERE . ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP

 THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY MINT PAIR OF INNER SURFACES AND ANOTHER SUPERB DRAWING FROM ROGER DEAN

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN PAPER INNER IS IN UNSPLIT

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS WITH EASE WITHOUT THE PAPER PULL BUT STILL EX EVEN WITH IT

Your Purchase will be send inside a very protective square cornered professional package

The record will be removed from the sleeve and placed inside a new poly inner sleeve and separated from the cover

The sleeve and record will then have a new outer protective sleeve placed around it
