IMPOSSIBLY RARE PSYCH/HEAVY PROG LP!!! Most serious music nuts will know this band.  This barely EVER comes around, so be sure not to miss out!!!

 Ultra Rare Original 1969 UK 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything  and  had a very small run, it is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND!!! An absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! One of those rare crossovers from psych to heavy prog which was only around for a couple of years from 1968 to 1970. An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like well crafted music, bid now!!!

Great psych /  heavy prog album with some expansive lush arrangements as the band displays early blues/psych tracks and veering into more complicated progressive sounds (at times like early Deep Purple but also Pretty Things). The whole album is top drawer musicianship indeed. A very highly recommended LP and very rare as an original UK pressing!

The absolute rarity of this album is not to be underestimated. It hardly ever surfaces nowadays. This has a lovely deep glossy sheen!! Hauntingly beautiful songcraft!!! Immense quality prog/psych/folk album that ticks all the right boxes and incredibly hard to find. 

Please, also have a look at my other prog albums on sale this week.

ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!!

!!!!AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND!!!GORGEOUS !! A few hundred of the LP were ever sold!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOO very rare!!!!!

BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! 

****ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!****PERPLEXING SONGCRAFT!!!***AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT TOPACTS!!!***

!!!!A VERY HARD FIND!!! Most have been bought up by collectors!! This is hardly offered these days!!

In all my years this is only the second time I have come across this PROGMONSTER. Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. light pops here and there and some light static at times , this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .The audio is still powerful and enjoyable. 

Vinyl: G+ to VG.  Even though there are a fair amount of hairlines and two scuff marks the vinyl plays through all the way without any problems bar some light static in places. Also a couple of low level pops on side 2. All in all though the high groove walls on this very early vinyl ensure a steady spin with resulting very powerful audio. Not for a Mint or EX collector, but finding this as an original will prove near impossible.

Gatefold Sleeve: G.  Although this is a nice gatefold sleeve with minor edge wear and a fully readable spine which would have graded VG to VG+ at least, it still has to only grade G as a small section to the rear near the opening has been repaired as it was torn out. This is an area of approx. 5cm by 4 cm. Hardly any creasing but one top central seam split on the back gate around 4 cm.  The inside gatefold is excellent. A very obscure album that rarely shows up these days. I will provide a picture with the repair showing on Friday as an addition to this listing.

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!!

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