ATTENTION 1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ALBUM FROM 1971 THAT RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS NEAR MINT CONDITION EXAMPLE WHICH HAS THE USUALLY MISSING SWIRL DESIGN INNER SLEEVE AND THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER! 

GRAVY TRAIN.

 "BALLAD OF(A PEACEFUL MAN)".

THE SECOND ALBUM MADE BY THIS FANTASTIC AND OVERLOOKED GROUP CLEARLY INFLUENCED BY THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE FUSION BANDS OF THE LATE 1960s WITH SOME SUPERB SONGS COVERING A VARIETY OF MOODS INCLUDING GREAT VOCALS,EXCELLENT GUITARWORK AND BRILLIANT PRODUCTION-SERIOUSLY RARE TO LOCATE IN 2014! IT'S THE FIRST COPY I HAVE FOUND IN 28 YEARS AS A DEALER SPECIALISING IN VERY RARE ROCK LPs!

THIS LP IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL AND HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES 43 YEARS AGO AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE! THE ALBUM WAS ONLY ISSUED IN THE STEREO FORMAT.

PHILIPS PRESSED VERTIGO 6360 051 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1Y/2Y MATRIXES.FLAT AND THICK VINYL WITH VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING OR STAINING.  THIS ALBUM HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST ONE ULTRA FAINT AND TINY HAIRLINE SURFACE MARK VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT! HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE. STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION AND OF UPGRADER STANDARD! STORED AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT FOR OVER 40 YEARS HAVING CLEARLY ONLY HAD A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS! WOW! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY AS GOOD AS THIS FANTASTIC EXAMPLE! 

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED "SWIRL" INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN-NO STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. JUST A FEW MINOR CREASES.

THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER HAS A LITTLE EDGE WEAR AND A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! VERY NICE AND HARD TO FIND AS CLEAN AS THIS BRILLIANT EXAMPLE.
