Description
Soft Machine – Volume Two LP
UK Probe Pressing (1969)
Sleeve EX‑ / Vinyl EX‑
Offered from my collection, this is a UK pressing of Volume Two by Soft Machine, released in 1969 on Probe Records.
A decent, well‑presented copy with excellent original labels and a classic front‑laminated Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve with flipbacks. The vinyl plays very well overall, with one small audible mark noted for accuracy.

Collector’s Notes
Volume Two is a key early Soft Machine album and an important UK Canterbury‑scene release. UK Probe pressings with original pink labels and Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback sleeves remain sought after, particularly when the spine is legible and the sleeve retains strong presentation.
This copy offers excellent overall playback, correct original labels with gramophone rim text, and a solid original sleeve — a decent, honest example for collectors or listeners seeking a clean UK copy.
Condition Guide
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 and may have slight deterioration in sound quality, noticeable surface marks, and the occasional light scratch. Sleeve will have wear and tear expected for its age.
Good (G)
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and scratches. The cover and contents suffer from significant folding, scuffing of edges, discoloration, etc.
