The third and final Kingdom Come album has been most noted in retrospect as one of the first rock records to use a drum machine. In other respects it was also a departure from Kingdom Come's previous sound, with the songs not quite as doom-suffused as their first album (Galactic Zoo Dossier) or as whimsical as their second (Kingdom Come), if just as intense in their philosophical questing. But it's a Kingdom Come record, which by definition is an uneven experience, dwelling in the darker side of early-'70s prog rock, but also touching on heavy metal, jazz, science fiction electronics, and the blues

LABELS: MINT
An immaculate set of labels.
No spindle traces or any sign the record has ever been played
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but harmless hairlines visible under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays like new throughout with just a little touch of low-level surface noted on some of the quietest bits - nothing really and nothing unexpected - one of the cleanest copies I have heard
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The fully laminated cover has some issues with the applied laminate not quite reaching the edges (from manufacture) and then stacked while the laminate was still warm causing sticking to other covers resulting in a little paper loss on the unlaminated extremities.
Otherwise the sleeve is in fine shape.
The edges are sharp and unworn and all spine text is crisp and fresh
