Original UK 1st pressing.
Gatefold sleeve,

One of the hardest to find original UK Pop/Psyche LPs. Very rare now... and highly desirable for it's great music and great cover!
A real one-off: this is the only LP recorded by Octopus, and it was put out in tiny numbers in only one press-run and promptly vanished from sight.

Although this copy has been around a bit, I grade both LP and Sleeve as VG+. Playback can be described as EX(-) with a few clicks.
There is no groove wear, so although there are the ocasional clicks (hear the MP3 sample) there is no noisy hash at the loud bits, of which there are quite a few.
Visually it still has that 'shine' although there are plenty of scuff marks. Looking at the labels, you understand why there is no groove wear: they have only the most basic of spindle marks from a few plays.

I have provided a high quality sound sample above so you can hear how it plays, and the scans are big enough to let you know just what you're getting but please feel free to ask any questions before bidding.

**This record has been cleaned professionally on a VPi HW-17F wet-solution/vacuum record cleaner. LP in new soft-lined anti-static inner sleeve.
