THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESSING

ORIGINALLY AVAILABLE BY MAIL ORDER ONLY

and with the LARGE ORIGINAL DOUBLE-SIDED LYRIC SHEET

ALSO ONLY AVAILABLE BY MAIL (SEPARATELY) FROM SOFA SOUND

the record is mint and UNPLAYED

the labels are mint with NO spindle traces and NEVER ON A TURNTABLE

the so-fragile, all-black matt unlaminated cover is ALMOST 100% MINT

merely tiny signs of having been sent by post (when mailed out to my address)

from S-type Records of Shaftesbury Avenue, London, more than 30 years ago

by Gail Colson (at Gail Force management/ Hit and Run music publishing)

this consists of one minor diagonal crease to the upper right front corner

immediately after receipt, the large foldout lyric sheet was also sent by post

(from Hammill's own Sofa Sound in Westbury, Wiltshire) and added to the LP

since that time the album has remained in my archive for over three decades

the lyric sheet is exactly as it was when sent to me and is AS NEW

RECORDED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1979 and APRIL 1980

at SOFA SOUND, WESTBURY, WILTSHIRE

MIXED at CRESCENT STUDIOS, BATH, SOMERSET

ARRANGED, PERFORMED and PRODUCED by

PETER HAMMILL

with

DAVID LORD mixing engineer

DAVE JACKSON saxes, flute

DAVID FERGUSON synths, tambourine

A NEAR PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY SCARCE HAMMILL ARTEFACT

SLIGHTLY LATER PRESSINGS AND REISSUES MAY BE FOUND

BUT IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE NOW TO OBTAIN THE 1st PRESSING

AND WITH THE ORIGINAL MAIL ORDER LYRIC SHEET?

EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!
