This is a TRUE CLASSIC and in my opinion is up there with the hardest to find MAJOR MINOR UK releases!!! ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS!! - NO RESERVE. STUNNING CONDITION!!!!

 The rarity the music, everything about this LP just makes it so collectable. A very rare opportunity to BID for this item, when will you see another in any condition? Let alone one as a good "Keeper Copy" !!!!

It comes in the Original front laminated sleeve and has the earliest possible textured lables. ULTRA RARE BLUES/PROGRESSIVE LP RUMOURED TO HAVE BEEN ALL STARTED BY THE FOUNDER OF HAWKWIND IN 1964, DAVE BROCK .BUT HE DID NOT RECORD ANY DISCS WHILE HE WAS WITH THEM, BY 1969 HE HAD ALREADY LEFT TO START THE BEGININGS OF HAWKWIND.

THE PERSONEL ON THE LP ARE-MIKE KING(PIANO),JOHN HILLARY(VOCALS AND GUITAR),GARY COMPTON (HARMONICA,BONES)

This is MUST HAVE item for any serious collectors and the condition of this copy is surely amongst the best available with all aspects being at least EX. Grading is very strict as I know what a rare item this is.

Gradings:

Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. The item should be in brand new condition with no surface marks or deteriation. The disc, cover and any other contents (lyric sheet, booklet etc..) should be in perfect condition
Special attention should also be placed on sunlight and on sources of heat such as radiators, vents, and artifical lighting. Also beware of high humidity and water. This will cause mould to grow on the album jackets and within the inner sleeves causing unrepairable damage.

Near Mint Excellent (NM)
A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear and only minor signs of being played. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either and the same should be true of any other inserts, for example posters, lyric sleeves etc..

Excellent(E)                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The record should show only very slight signs of wear and minor signs of being played. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than slight defects, such as  a little ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP jacket should have only the slightest amount of creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects.                                                                                                                                                                  
Very Good (VG)
A "Very Good" record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. There's no major deterioration in sound quality but there maybe slight surface scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect the listening experiences. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear also. In general normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G)
Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But the sound quality will probably have noticeably deteriorated perhaps with surface noise, mild scratches and visible groove wear. The cover or sleeve will have probably have seam splits, scuffing of the edges and/or discolouration.
