There seems to be some disagreement as to whether this was released in 1969 or 1973.
I will go with the latter as MUSIC WEEK in their January 23, 1973 issue announced it was to be released on February 11th 1973 as "the world's first 3D picture disk".
This is an interesting comment I found on a prog website from 2014;
"After Horse and a number of other bands based in the Walton/Weybridge/Addlestone area of Surrey, Saturnalia was going to be Rod Roach and Addie Hawkins big break. However, in part the vinyl technology let them down. Least we forget the original vinyl pressings of this LP incorporated a 3D effect, packaged in clear PVC sleeves, the first time this had been attempted. An after pub visit to Mr & Mrs Roach's small flat in Oatlands, revealed the problem. Under the couple's double bed were stuffed 1000's of faulty pressings of the LP, for instance side one was okay but side two was duff. As the LP had been pressed up in Germany, the band had financial problems returning therm, so in hippy tradition moved on. Rod gave me a faulty LP (passed onto a brother), side one was interesting but of side 2 I'm about to discover after 40 years. BTW those few good pressings are worth something nowadays."
Side 1:
Magical Love (4:32)
She Brings Peace (4:42)
And I Have Loved You (3:22)
Winchester Town (7:55)
Side 2:
Traitor (4:36)
Soul Song (2:58)
Princess And The Peasant Boy (3:34)
Dreaming (2:43)
Step Out Of Line (4:18)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
The plastic hologram disc labels (which are supposed to be detachable) are pristine.
EDIT: When I was playing the record the Side Two hologram disc did in fact come loose
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD / NEAR MINT
Looks like new but there is a blob of glue on the last track on Side One which looks like a remnant of the glue used to fix the hologram label (probably).
I have tried to dissolve it, but as it's over 45 years old and dried solid I don't think it's going anywhere
VINYL Audio: VERY GOOD / EXCELLENT
I have played through Side One (up to the glue, I do not want to damage my stylus) and through Side Two and it sounds pretty good with no major issues of note.
BOOKLET: NEAR MINT
The stapled booklet looks practically untouched
