THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS AS ON THE LABELS TO THE RIGHT OF THE CBS CENTRE BLOCK, IT HAS THE TWO PUBLISHERS WITHOUT SPECIFYING THE TRACKS, AND LATER PRESSES DID SPECIFY THE TRACKS !!!! 

THIS IS THE BRILLIANT 3rd AND FINAL STUDIO ALBUM BY BRILLIANT AND VERY HIGHLY UNDERRATED  BRITISH PROG ROCKERS 'HOME'. AFTER THIS ALBUM THEY DISBANDED AND 'CLIFF WILLIAMS', WENT ON TO REPLACE, 'MARK EVANS' IN AC/DC, AND 'LAURIE WISEFIELD' WENT ON TO PLAY WITH 'WISHBONE ASH', AND THE REST AS THEY SAY IS, "ROCK HISTORY" !!!! THIS IS A PROG ROCK FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE CLASSIC, AND IT COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION WITH STUNNING AUDIO !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, BUT TO AVOID TO MUCH CONTACT WITH OTHER PEOPLE IF THE POST OFFICE STAYS OPEN, I WILL ONLY BE POSTING TWICE A WEEK .

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1973  UK 1ST PRESS  ::  A1 'MIKIP'  ::  B1 .

ON THE ORANGE CBS LABEL  ::  S 65550 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESS GATEFOLD WITH ONLY 65550 ON THE FRONT TOP LEFT. BEAUTIFUL SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH JUST A BIT OF VERY FAINT RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THERE IS A SMALL STICKER REMOVAL MARK TOP RIGHT CORNER AND SOME VERY LIGHT TINY AGE SPOT MARKS AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE BACK HAS A TINY BIT OF VERY LIGHT RING WEAR ALONG THE TOP AND ONE SIDE EDGE, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE   :: VG+/EX- .  BUT NEARER EX- !!!!

VINYL ::  PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, AND NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS. THERE ARE JUST FOUR FAINT TICKS AT THE END OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1. VISUALLY ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HAS A BEAUTIFUL SHINE. SO A LOVELY VINYL WITH LOVELY AUDIO AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX+/NEAR MINT . 

LABELS :: SUPERB  :: EX+ .

INNER :: NO WRITING OR SPLITS JUST A BIT OF SURFACE CREASING  :: VG/VG+ .
