The original American pressing of their second album. Ardent/Stax ADS-1501. Though officially released in early '74, the copyright date on both labels reads 1973. The first track, "O, My Soul" is credited as recorded in Mono.

The Vinyl is VG+.  "Mod Lang" is the only track that shows anything more than faint surface marks. I just played that song in its entirety and it tracks perfectly and I detected no substantial surface noise at all.   The matrix areas are etched:

A Side:  (Pitchfork Icon)              STXS-0740-3           AS-0565                      ------L. NIX------------

B Side:  (Saturn & Star Icons)    STXS-0741-3           AS-0566                      ------L. NIX------------


Jacket is VG+. Seams/spine are intact and good.  The two right hand corners show just a tiny split at the edge, about half a centimeter/quarter inch. The front and back panels are still reflective and fairly clean, there is a little bit of ring wear and blemishing on the top front of the cover.  "Red Ceiling" art work is by noted US photographer Williams Eggleston.

Please see my other auctions for more prog, indie, new wave and proto-punk vinyl, much of it original pressings. I have been an avid collector since 1970. 

I will continually be listing rare folk, Post Punk,  early new wave imports, eighties US underground, Noise, sixties Avant Jazz.  

All LP's are mailed outside the jacket, in a new vinyl mailer with stiff cardboard padding on each side.  I combine shipping on multiple items. 


NOTE TO ITALIAN BUYERS: You have the option to ship the LP to Italy, secure, guaranteed and trackable, for  €23 Euro.  You also have the choice of  the less expensive USPS option to Italy, but it is not trackable or guaranteed.
