ORIGINAL UK 1st PRESS 45

SPLENDID PICTURE COVER WITH REAR ‘FLIPBACKS’ PRINTED BY E.J. DAY

THIS 45 OWNED BY ME FROM NEW IS IN MINT UNPLAYED PRISTINE CONDITION

AGED 15 IN 1970, I PURCHASED EXTRA COPIES OF SOME OF THE BEST RECORDS

to me, King Crimson were easily the most advanced progressive oufit

and Black Sabbath completely unmatched on the heavy rock scene

I still have mint spares of the early LPs and 45s by these two bands

both sides of this classic single, which sold surprisingly well, are needless to say, fantastic

the brilliant Cat Food with fine Sinfield lyrics remains an ultra tight and concise eerie pop rocker

while Groon, which stunned me at the time due to Fripp’s masterful guitar, still sounds fresh

TOP EXAMPLE
