COMMENTS ON THE ALBUM
Here we have an absolute MONSTER of an album, this is the ULTRA RARE original UK FIRST PRESSING of Welsh progressive rock band The Eyes of Blue. What a truly amazing album this is and is now virtually impossible to find these days, especially in this condition!
This album is in truly AMAZING condition and I shall try my best to describe the condition of the album in detail below.
THE FRONT:
The front of the cover is in truly remarkable shape with noimperfections. There are NO sticker tears and NO writing anywhere on the cover. The cover is fully laminated and looks superb with no creasing.
THE BACK:
As the front, again NO WRITING and NO tears, fully laminated and looks superb.
THE EDGES:
Edges are super clean with NO scuffing.
THE SPINE:
Again super clean with NO scuffing. The writing is perfectly clear with every letter legible.
The record itself looks very clean, bright light reveals a little minor scuff but nothing to impair the overall sound quality. Below is a brief description of the vinyl.
SIDE 1:
A few very feint hairlines visible under bright light, nothing to cause any problems. Its basically really only the paperscuff variety which apart from these very minor cosmetic blemishes the vinyl looks very clean indeed and still retains its original bright shine!
SIDE 2:
As Side 1
THE LABELS:
The labels are in lovely condition with NO unwanted writing or pen marks. NO tears or scuffs or discolouring. Very close scrutiny reveals the lightest of spindlewear that shows the album has not been played much in the past. Wording is sharp and distinct on both labels.
MATRIX NUMBERS

Side 2) 134225 2Y//1 420
FINAL SUMMARY
Overall, this is a superb album and a MUST for any collectors of fine progressive rock and psychedelia. Truly a great example of a very rare and collectable album. So hard to find as a UK 1st press.
Grading is a very subjectional topic but I would be happy to grade the album as follows:
THE COVER:
EX+
THE VINYL:
EX+
All Records are posted with vinyl outside of the cover to prevent seam splits and are packaged in plastic to prevent water damage and posted in custom record mailers with stiffeners.
