            Regular visitors to my auctions will know that I will not easily use the NM grade. For the second time this year I am presenting a vinyl which is just that!! Great introverted progressive folk album that was never bound to top the charts. With members of Mighty Baby, Rod Argent and other extremely skilled musicians. Incredibly rare, only a few hundred were ever issued. Quite unbelievably went totally under the radar. This is folk/prog GOLD!!!

The absolute rarity of this album is not to be underestimated. It hardly ever surfaces nowadays. This is an absolutely gorgeous heavy slab of early quality B&C vinyl which is in splendid EX condition!! This has a lovely deep glossy sheen!! Hauntingly beautiful songcraft!!! Immense quality folkprog album that ticks all the right boxes and incredibly hard to find. I have twentyfive years experience in grading. It doesn't get much better than this!!

Please note: the little white spot  above to the left is not damage. It is just a print mistake where the colour didn't catch on.

Brief Info: This was Keith Christmas’s third album and second on B&C Records. Regarded by many as his golden period and this, arguably his very best ever album. His early albums are more folk-based which he excelled at more than rock. With material similar to the likes of Roy Harper and Michael Chapman, fans of those two better known acts are sure to appreciate this man too. The early albums are scarce, the debut being rare and elusive where he was backed by Mighty Baby, but for most fans, the two B&C albums musically are superior.  With super-clean playing surfaces and barely any spindle marks on the labels, this looks hardly even played and the highly wear-prone cover has little if any sign of handling. A scarce early album from a very talented man who was sadly somewhat overlooked in his day.

Excellent UK 1971

1st press record

The surfaces display blazing factory-fresh gloss. This has been barely played, impossible to find like this!!! The audio is supreme, no static or clicks!!!

Please, also have a look at my other prog albums on sale this week.

ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!! VINYL IN A UNIQUE EX+ CONDITION!!!

!!!!AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND!!!GORGEOUS EX+!!! A few hundred of the LP were ever sold!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOO very rare!!!!!

BACK IN 1971 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! 

!!!!A VERY HARD FIND!!! Most have been bought up by collectors!! This is hardly offered these days!!

In all my years this is only the second time I have come across this FOLK/PROGMONSTER. Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .The audio is impeccable. Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

Vinyl: NM.  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. This has barely been played!! NO marks, NO hairlines!! Fantastic songcraft!! 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.  Of course NO jumps/clicks/skips etc.

Gatefold Sleeve: EX+.   A matt sleeve and vulnerable by definition. But this one is fantastic, probably the best you will ever find. this has been looked after with great care and is top of the pack after 40 years!!! All edges are deadstraight. The opening is razorsharp. The spine is fully legible. There is no writing and I think it will be a very long time before this super album will come around again with again more takers than ever before.

***This is a unique prime investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is  a great and seriously collectable super album!!  You will buy into a piece of  prog core history.*** 

Labels: NM!! Unmarked. Please look at the pics!!

             This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych 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 41.00.  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.
