Please come in our site clicking the above link, you're Welcome!

PLEASE CONSIDER THAT IN THESE EBAY AUCTIONS I USE A STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM THAT CAN'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT ,FOR EXAMPLE,  A VG+ COVER OR A VG+ VINYL  IT'S EQUIVALENT TO "BAD CONDITIONS" BUT SIMPLY THAT MY GRADE IT'S STRICT AND PROBABLY EQUIVALENT TO AN EX OF SOMEONE ELSE WITH  NOT A SO STRICT GRADE. I HAVE SOLD IN THESE AUCTIONS EX- RECORDS THAT WERE SURELLY M- COPIES BUT I PREFERE TO BE STRICT TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTEMENT BECAUSE I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY REPUTATION.

Record Collector Magazine Grading System MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.


graded VG/VG for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system

labelThe original france pressed lp it's in nice shape with just a couple of marks around the spindle hole and nothing else so an EX-
cover: The cover it's gatefold and laminated and it's totally enjoyable but with some  wear that well worth to be mentioned. The left bottom corner it's slightly bent and des have a crease and some whitening, on the back there is a crack on the cover positioned in the right part of the notes and this crack erase about a letter for each word he meet ...last defect it's a very minor split in the centre of bottom seam, just under the Distribution Exclusive C.E.D  and it's about 1 cm ..hardly noticeable but existing....I can't give to this cover more than a VG but as you can see from the photos this is a full enjoyable and looking well cover.
vinyl: The vinyl does have 1 mark on the first track and there are 2 clicks on the beginning and in the second click it's more strong and I can't understand if there's a stylus jump  or not, sincerelly I don't know because it's in the first psych notes and it's hard to understand....more ahead during this  track there's is a little jump and this is more clear altough not so annoying in a normal playing. The rest of the record play with some minor crackles here and there but the structure of the music and the good pressing make a job so you can be hardly disturbed to these defects....anyway this is not a clean copy so forget it if you need a perfect EX copy because this is VG but still enjoyable and the low starting bid can let you have this copy for a lower amount than it's value ...because this is a very rare item and it's FANTASTIC music!
review: This is a great progressive quartet with a great organ and especially a superb Electric Guitar, tracks are superbly structured and well composed searching a fusion between a melodic psych prog structure and a more powerful but refined hard rock evolution, the result it's really superb and this is an indispensable record in any progressive collection ... so Don't miss
