Other comments: Clear Blue Sky by Clear Blue Sky. Subtitlled "Journey to the Inside of the Sun", this 1970 LP on rare Vertigo Swirl label is their legendary psychedelic raga spacerock masterpiece. If you only know the CDs, prepare for a surprise. Side 1 is sequenced as one continuous, unfolding trek. Sound quality is superb, and cut reveals sound depth lost in later digital editions.

Gatefold sleeve is by legendary prog artist Roger Dean (his first?), Spine is perfect and you are unlikely to find a copy in better condition. Extremely rare - and in as perfect condition as you are going to find!!

CONDITION COMMENT (Please read this): I am very critical of condition. When opened my lp’s immediately went into protective covers for the jackets, I replaced the paper inner with a lined inner sleeve for the vinyl (not on Vertigo, and other British lp's that come with this type of liner), and were kept in excellent shape. Many of them only had a song or two transferred to tape and never saw the turntable again. (Always played on top equipment - no vinyl grinders used here!)

I am downsizing, and these records (about 5000 in all) will be going away. They have meant a lot to me and I hope they are appreciated by their new caretakers. Good luck.

I was hooked. Worked anywhere I could be near music/radio biz. Worked radio gig in Charleston, WV (where I also opened a record store (Sights & Sounds), imported British records for my radio program....by ‘70 I was at WVUM (voice of the U of Miami) working my way thru college with a British/British Blues theme radio show, while fixing radar systems for Cruise Line Vessels on the side near Port Everglades. I have many rare records, and they are NICE!!.
