So, so hard to find, VDGG's all time classic album and here it is where it all came together from start to finish although the three predecessors were awesome in their own right!! Splendid  existential prog album in great EX condition!! This is grandeur from the first note till the very last I am very happy to be able to present this fantastic and ULTRA rare album . This will be a great first acquisition as well as a terrific upgrade!!!

THE SUPREME VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

IT IS VERY HARD THESE DAYS TO STILL FIND THIS GEM IN THIS SMASHING CONDITION. IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN IN THIS SPLENDID CONDITION WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

Vinyl: EX. A very nice glossy vinyl with just one hairline on side 1. Under a strong light some retraction paper traces can be seen. These are invisible in normal daylight. The audio has beautiful separation and there is barely any background noise. Under a strong light just wispy paper retraction lines can be noticed. I played in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed mega rare now. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

Gatefold Sleeve: EX .  Fantastic looked after sleeve without any wear or damage.  "Made and printed by E.J.Day Group, London and Bedford". Not any crease at all! The pictures tell all. Only the lightest of possible shelf wear to the bottom edge which is hardly noticeable. The top edge is splendid. One tiny nick near the top left corner. No writing, no marks , the best I have ever come across!! Hard to find in such condition at this late date. 

The lyric sheet is also still there but has lots of wear and creasing with also some tape on the side. It is obvious that it has been separated from the album and been hung on the wall. Well, at least it is still present unlike many copies for sale. I will also include a copy of the insert. On the picture the copy is in front of the original.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
