Description
I'm selling a copy of the album "The Perfect Prescription" by the neo-psychedelic band Spacemen 3. This is the first issue of this album and it came out in the UK on Glass Records in 1987 with the catalogue number GLALP 026.
The vinyl is in NM- condition: a very clean copy with no visible scratches and plays wonderfully from start to finish. The sleeve is in VG+ condition: looks very tidy apart from some light scratches and two small tears on the rear sleeve just to the right of the band's photo (would be an NM- otherwise).
The photos seen are of the actual item for sale from my own personal record collection.
My postage rates are:
UK (Royal Mail Second Class): £3.25 for the first album, 75p per album thereafter.
Europe (Royal Mail Airmail - Small Packet): £5 for the first album, £1.25 per album thereafter.
The Rest Of The World (Royal Mail Airmail - Small Packet): £8.50 for the first album, £2 per album thereafter.
I always include a stiffener inside the mailer in order to protect your purchase from the ravages of the postal service.
Here's some track and band info and a review from AMG:

Review by Ned Raggett [-]
Drawing together some earlier material and a slew of new songs, Spacemen 3 tied everything together on the brilliant Perfect Prescription, the clear point of departure from tribute to psych inspirations and finding its own unique voice. Planned as a concept album, Perfect Prescription works where so many other similar efforts failed due to the strength of the individual songs, as well as the smart focus of the concept in question -- a vision of a drug trip from inception to its blasted conclusion, highs and lows fully intact. The bookending of the album makes that much clear -- "Take Me to the Other Side" is a brash, exultant charge into the joys of the experience, a sharp, tight performance. "Call the Doctor," meanwhile, is a pretty-but-wounded conclusion, husky singing and a drowsy mood detailing the final collapse. The many highlights in between beginning and end are so striking that the album is practically a best-of in all but name. Sonic's eventual work with Spectrum and E.A.R. gets clearly signalled via the majestic reprise of the Transparent Radiation single, here introduced by the swirling flange of an edited "Ecstasy Symphony," also originally from that release. Sonic's breathless delivery of the Red Krayola classic, combined with the elegant arrangement, is a marvel to hear. "Walkin' With Jesus," meanwhile, is practically the birth of Spiritualized, the much different earlier takes now become a reflective combination of acoustic guitar, two-note keyboard lines, and Pierce's yearning, aching desire. The intentionally nasty flip to that is the storming charge of "Things'll Never Be the Same," a call to arms (or injecting something into them) that's as disturbing as it is energetic, the compressed, violent rage of feedback and rhythmic charge a gripping listen. Guest performers from the Jazz Butcher family tree, including Alex Green on sax, help expand the record's sonic range even further.
