****************************************************************

AS EVER WITH THIS FINE GROUP,SUPERB MUSICIANSHIP,SOME GREAT SOLOS, VOCALS AND OF COURSE TOP RECORDING PRODUCTION AS TYPICAL OF THE VERTIGO LABEL!

A MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE THAT MUST HAVE BLOWN MANY MINDS AWAY BACK IN 1977 WHEN THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

HARDLY ANYONE THOUGHT LONG TERM VALUE AND VERY,VERY FEW WOULD PLAY SUCH MUSIC IN THE SAME CAREFUL WAY THAT CLASSICAL BUYERS WOULD.THIS SET IS THE EXCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANY PROGRESSIVE ROCK/VERTIGO LABELS FAN WILL WANT THIS AND ESPECIALLY AS A VERY NEAR MINT DOUBLE LP 2ND EDITION IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION-JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY FROM AN EQUALLY LONG TERM EBAY SUPPLIER OF TOP QUALITY VINTAGE FOLK/ROCK!

NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE A TRULY AMAZING SELECTION OF MORE ORIGINAL (MOSTLY)FIRST PRESSING FOLK AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK LPs ENDING SHORTLY BEFORE AND AFTER THIS DOUBLE LP ENDS.ALL HAVING JUST ONE PREVIOUS,CAREFUL OWNER!YOU REALLY MUST CHECK OUT MY EBAY LIST FOR MORE DETAILS AS WELL AS MY FEEDBACK! 

THIS IS A LOVELY VINYL SET.

SO BACK TO THE DISCS>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THIS DOUBLE LP ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED ON TOP EQUIPMENT WITH NO SURFACE NOISE OR MARKS!

PROBABLY NO MORE THAN TWO PLAYS IF THAT!

Copies of this album were  sold in TINY quantities and so how many were preserved like this one AS GOOD AS THIS SET??

HARDLY USED AND NOT ABUSED!!! 

THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear the music of the 1970s AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

GREAT SOUND! 

MORE BASS THAN CD! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!! 

The Gatefold cover has a couple of tiny edge creases but is otherwise superb and close to perfect!

NO WRITING! NO RIPS! NO REPAIRS!

NO SELLOTAPE! NO STAINING! NO FADING! 

MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1980s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic £20 Starting price with no annoying reserve. An instant fast sale price in any collectors record shop!!
