One of the very rarest psych folk albums from the UK and any time this album comes up for sale there is a sense of excitement. This one is nice, most copies of this album have a fair bit of wear/damage etc. I'm glad to say that this is a proper upgrade copy of a very rare album. It's easily one of the top ten hardest swirl albums to find.

Labels clean and unmarked and NM.

Play test showed superb clear sound.

Here is a chance to own a copy of a very rare and desirable album. Not many do come up for sale at all. This one is esp. for the supreme vinyl a superb upgrade/archive copy.

Musically haunting,  some strangely-strange melodies and great improvisations. This has long been a connoisseurs acid-folk album and is of course highly sought after. I have always found this much harder to find than the first album Kip of the Serenes and only ever seen two or three copies before and none even in the same class or league as this stunning example. These acid-folk albums are hard to find like this, with nowhere for unwanted sounds to hide amongst the delicate acoustic and vocal music, this vinyl gave a fantastic performance throughout. An upgrade for sure!

THE SUPREME VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

 IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

Vinyl: EX+. A sublime vinyl with fantastic sound reproduction. Barely played and well cared for album and a fantastic upgrade for this ultra collectable title. No marks, and just one short wispy hairline on side 1, which cannot be heard on replay. Still looks gleaming and glossy. First press matrices and mother stampers. I have played this in full on my premium sound system (LINN SONDEK, B&W, ARCAM) and the stereo sound is simply supreme and this plays with strong gusto. NO skips, jumps crackle etc. This will be a fantastic item  for most long time psych/blues/prog collectors! A true upgrade.

 Sleeve: EX. This is one of the hardest for wear Vertigo sleeves. It has the foldout flaps and diecuts as well. All are intact with just the lightest of edge  wear and a couple of indentations but this one has no damage or pricestickers etc. No tears or splits. The colours are rich and the sleeve lies flat. Please have a close look at the pictures.

The original poly lined Vertigo inner sleeve is still there and fully intact with some small creases and light age related yellowing.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questins please ask me and I will try to answer soon.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!
