An impressive condition and eminently presentable copy of this 1974 UK 1st press psych/prog/Krautrock gem with gleaming vinyl, nice condition silver/metallic 1st press outer sleeve and superb STEREO sound quality throughout

Excellent plus (EX+) condition completely flat & gleaming jet black sheen vinyl with just a couple of wispiest of wispy hairlines on side 2, barely visible with close inspection under a bright light and purely superficial;  excellent plus (EX+) condition labels - unmarked on side 1 and the same for side 2 except for just a few small and extremely faint spindle trails...clearly, this is a record that has been sparingly played;  very good plus (VG+) condition outer sleeve - this is the rarer UK 1st press reverse side silver/metallic sleeve, renowned for it's fragility - with firm unscuffed edges, near perfectly defined right angled unscufffed corners, no opening edge fraying, no creasing and all art work/colours/text remaining in excellent condition with impressive definition still, and an excellent spine with all spine text remaining nicely intact. There is some light shelf/handling wear, however, including some mild ring wear on the reverse side, which includes some light abrasions slightly more in evidence towards the top edge on the reverse side, a small area of fading between the tow right-side photos on the reverse side, and some small 1cm surface "crinkles" adjacent and perpendicular to the edges on both sides.  Superb near mint (NM) stereo audio quality throughout with brilliant tone and clarity - no interference/distortion, no clicks or pops, and no background crackle at all - every track is a great listen and (in my humble opinion) the whole of side 2 remains a prog masterpiece, years ahead of it's time.  Comes with original plain white inner sleeve in excellent plus (EX+) condition with correct "PATENT..." and "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" horizontal texts and with no splits or creasing and just some very mild age discolouration.

An overall truly impressive condition 1st press copy Can masterpiece - a "must" for for any serious prog/Krautrock vinyl collection

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

 If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
