Decca SKL-R-5005
Very rare UK album by the great blues/progrock band Sam Apple Pie. A wonderful copy, though not mint, complete with original blue inner.
Here are some words from Wikipedia:
Formed in Walthamstow, London, where they ran their own club 'The Bottleneck Blues Club', Sam Apple Pie soon attracted a large live following, with a mix of goodtime blues and boogie, interspersed with humour. In October 1969 they played the Amougies Festival, in Belgium, where Frank Zappa jammed with them.
They wrote all but one of the songs on their first album Sam Apple Pie (1969) which featured lead singer Sam "Tomcat" Sampson with Mike "Tinkerbell" Smith and Steve Jolly on guitars, bassist Bob "Dog" Rennie, Malcolm Morley on keyboards and Dave Charles on drums
In 1970 they played the first Glastonbury Festival, after which Morley and Charles left to form Help Yourself and Steve Jolly to join Procol Harum offshoot Freedom. After several more line up changes, the band recorded their second album East 17 in 1973, with Sam Sampson and Bob Rennie from the first album supported by Andy Johnson and Denny "Pancho" Barnes on guitars, and Lee Baxter Hayes on drums.[
They disbanded in 1974, but reformed the next year.During the hiatus, from mid 1974 to February 1975, the band members performed with Vincent Crane as Vincent Crane's Atomic Rooster. Further line up changes included bassist Gary Fletcher, who subsequently joined The Blues Band, keyboard player, Steven Golick and drummer Martin Bell. The band continued into the late 1970s, changing its name to The Vipers, (not to be confused with the new wave band of the same name) before disbanding.
I have many more records for sale, just let me know if you are interested! I lead an online shop in Italy and I'm a professional records dealer. 
CONDITIONS: vg+/vg+ from strict Record Collector grading (cover graded first) Cover is exactly as it is depicted in the photos, some lamination creases on front, clean back, very nice perfectly readible spine. Disc is basically nice and clean, a strong vg+ that plays for the most full ex with minimal background noise in between tracks and silent parts. Has a TINY mark on B1 that causes a light click for the first half of the short song, nothing terrible, but if you point your ear at it it's there. A nice original british copy for a very realistic price!

Please read: Records are sent bt registered, tracked, mail through dutch post (postNL) Shipping is fast and reliable, much better than italian post. Anyway I kindly ask you not to open a case if a disc is not delivered in 10 days, please write me before asking for details. Allow me to say that if you just ask eBay to receive tracking details on one item my funds are immeduately blocked! In 30 years experience I have have had very little, if any, experince of lost items and anyway, if anything is really lost I will professionally refund. Thank you for your comprehension. Alessandro
