 ONE OF THE HARDEST ON OHR TO FIND, VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THESE DAYS*****

  ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!STUNNING SONGCRAFT!!!AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT TOPACTS!!!IT IS TRULY PERPLEXING WHY BIRTH CONTROL DID NOT MAKE THE BIG LEAGUE!!!

!!!!AN EXTREMELY HARD FIND!!!  A few hundred (rumoured to be around 500) were ever pressed of this fantastic prog/psych album. It is hard to understand why this never sold in larger numbers.

In all my years this is only the third time I have come across this PROGMONSTER of which only 500 are rumoured to be about. Rare ... anyone??  .

Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. One long hairline on side 2 and a couple of very wispy retraction hairlines, none of which cause any trouble in the audio department. The audio is a strong EX. This is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .  Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

            The songs on this album are  very diverse and of an extreme sophistication. The songcraft is just mesmerising!! For whatever reason this stunning album, without filler and now rightly regarded as a lost classic, sold zilch!!!

         It's hard to put  into words how stunning this album is. Dark and brooding with unexpected twists round every corner. The adventurous Prog/Kraut collector will salivate over this absolute stunner.

       Vinyl:  Visually VG++!!  The replay is nothing short of EX. A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. There are NO jumps NO skips NO sticks. On side 2 there are a couple of very light hardly audible mini ticks on the quieter segment. Otherwise glorious audio all the way!! This will serve as a very healthy investment for the future!! I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection and a mighty investment to boot!!

     Gatefold Sleeve:  EX+.  NO creases, NO writing, NO grubby marks. A wonderful upgrade hardly found in this beautifully preserved condition.  The inside gatefold is likewise in stunning condition. Beautiful deadstraight edges and a great crisp opening. One small round shop sticker on the bach near the top. Quite easy to remove if desired. Just look at the pics.  This one is very close to perfect!!!  I think it will be a very difficult task to find this album at all any time soon, leave alone in this STUNNING condition!!!  It is extremely hard to find this album at all. Finding it in this great condition is nearly impossible!!!

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Nowadays any early OHR is golddust!!! Like the Vertigo Swirl this will only appreciate in value. Get this while you still can, once absorbed in a quality collection this won't come back!!

 This is  a great and seriously collectable super album!! 

Labels: EX++!!! Unbelievable!! Still like it was bought all those years ago.

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!!
