PLAYS LOVELY !!!!

THIS IS A VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ALBUM, AND IF YOU LIKE YOU BLUES PROG ROCK, THEN THIS IS A MUST HAVE. FORMED IN WORTHING ENGLAND, IN 1968, THIS IS THEIR 3rd ALBUM, RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1970, AND A BRILLIANT ALBUM, SO ONCE AGAIN, ANOTHER SAD LOSS FROM MY PERSONAL TREASURED VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A 7 DAY AUCTION, AND NOT MY NORMAL 10 DAY AUCTION, AS I AM GOING AWAY ON THE 3rd AUGUST FOR ONE WEEK , SO THE AUCTION WILL NOW FINISH BEFORE I GO AWAY, SO I CAN SHIP, THANK YOU !!!!

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  CAS 1024  A-1U ::  CAS 1024  B-1U .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPER  ::  1 T  ::  1 A .


ON THE FIRST PRESS BLACK AND GREEN B&C LABEL :: CAS 1024 .   COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1st PRESS FULLY TEXTURED GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E. J DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD, AND IN NICE SOLID CONDITION, WITH  SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH SOME SHELF WEAR ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND A BIT OF SHELF WEAR ON THE SPINE SIDE EDGES, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP !!!! THERE IS A RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL, 'STEAMHAMMER MOUNTAINS' STICKER ON THE FRONT. THESE EARLIEST COVERS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND IN NICE CONDITION AS THEY ARE MADE FROM JUST TEXTURED CARD AND DID SUFFER FROM DAMAGE, BUT THIS ONE HAS SURVIVED BEETER THAN MOST, AND REALLY IT IS ONLY THE SHELF WEAR ON THE EDGES, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS IT IS NOT THAT BAD, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE :: VG+/EX- .  

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS LOVELY, WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, CLICKS, POPS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND ALL I HEARD WAS ....

ON SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END, AND FOUR FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY END .

HAS TWO FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 3 :: HAS ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 5 :: HAS FIVE FAINT TICKS AT THE VERY END .

ON SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

HAS ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 2 :: THIS IS A VERY LONG TRACK AND HAS FOUR FAINT TICKS .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SO PLAYS REALLY WELL, WITH AS YOU HAVE SEEN, JUST A FEW FAINT TICKS, AND HONESTLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE, SO NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE OF THIS AMAZING ALBUM !!!!

VISUALLY, ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME LONG COSMETIC HAIRLINES, SO UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THEY DO STAND OUT, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS AS AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, SO JUST A VISUAL THING, AND SO ON TO THE AUDIO, AND I THINK A FAR AUDIO GRADE IS  :: EX/EX- . BUT I WOULD SAY, NEARR TO EX, RATHER THAN EX- . 

LABELS :: JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINES SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNER :: NO SEAM SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST A BIT OF AGEING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER :: VG+ . 

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS, AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATTED BLUES PROG ROCK ALBUM !!!!

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND YOU CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE .

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!!
