** Very strange / bizarre experimental 1971 USA double LP - heavy rock / weird / Zappa/Beefheart influences. Purported to be one of the worst selling LP's in the history of USA Columbia records. Now extremely rare. Hear some of it on the link below **
Excellent condition discs, with only a couple of minor surface marks on sides 3 and 4. No visible spindle marks / wear. Original STEREO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, warps, writing on labels, scuffs or scratches to vinyl. Excellent sound quality. Very little surface noise throughout. Tested on a Thorens turntable.
Gatefold sleeve in Fair condition only. Non-laminated. No writing anywhere, but quite a bit of general wear. Edges are very worn. Spine is very worn / damaged, and text on spine no longer legible. Top edges on both sides of the gatefold sleeve have approx. 12cm tears from top left (see photos).
One original company inner sleeve in very good condition, and one non-original plain white inner sleeve.

GRADING:
All records are graded using the 'Record Collector' format:
MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
