This auction is for the stunning existential first UK VDGG album. This is the album where I feel Peter Hammill's voice is unequalled by any other British vocalist. An album that grows on you after every spin and supplies you with new surprises and insights every time. VDGG's lyrics are in my opinion unequalled in prog or popular music in general, always reflecting on the human condition and revealing new layers of detail and intensity. All first four VDGG's albums are absolutely essential. It is these days totally impossible to find and I'm glad being able to offer this classic. It should rightfully be part of every prog lover's DNA.

Vinyl: EX.  A sublime copy with only a couple of light retraction type mini hairlines that do not sound. This is an LP that has been looked after and treated with due respect. It is indeed megarare now in this kind of condition. A fantastic album that still sounds up to date now. No wonder VGG's stock has climbed so high in our time. To me this is one of the greatest albums ever committed to vinyl and I listen to it quite often in different formats and issues. Nothing beats this, the original first press with marvellous sound separation. This vinyl is the original ultra heavy kind, no re-issue could ever match the tonal quality of this essential vinyl. This has not been played much as is also evident from the fact that there is hardly a spindle trace to be seen. 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 matt sleeve without any damage.  This sleeve is extremely hard to find in this great condition. Most would have extensive wear and fading of  the predominantly dark colours like also for example the Black Sabbath debut album. Remarkable edges with not much wear at all, a fully well looked after sleeve. A very sharp opening as well. There are not even any creases . Very very hard to find this sleeve in this gorgeous condition. The winner will be very pleased indeed!! Printed by the E.J.Day Group Ltd.. No writing, no creases, no marks .

                                   Labels: EX++. No marks writing etc. No spindle marks. This is the original ROUGH TEXTURED variety. Smooth labels are later presses (though still very rare).

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 30.00.  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.
