So, so hard to find, VGG'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 maniacal existential prog album in great VG+/EX condition for its vinyl!! 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!!!

THE GLOSSY 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!

SO HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK LYRIC SHEET. THIS WILL BE AN UPGRADE FOR MOST SERIOUS COLLECTORS. IT IS VERY HARD THESE DAYS TO STILL FIND THIS GEM . IT ILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN IN THIS SPLENDID CONDITION ITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE.

Vinyl: VG+/EX. Probably not played too much. In normal light conditions this looks splendid. Under a strong light a few light hairlines and paper retraction lines become visible. There are no deep heavy hairlines or marks and in my opinion this has been looked after. The replay is solid without any sticks or jumps. The audio is clear with barely any background noise at all. all in all an above average vinyl and super rare with those first press  matrices!! A small name on side 1 label in ballpoint.

Gatefold Sleeve: VG+.  Great gatefold sleeve with edge and spine wear.   All colours are still bright and there are no tears or stickers anywhere. An absolute rarity as a first press proper!! This has the infamous salute photo on the inside gatefold. The back gatefold has a small top seam split of 2". 

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.
