ONE OF THE BEST LPs I HAVE EVER HEARD !!!! IT REALLY IS UNBELIEVABLE WHY THIS GROUP ARE NOT MASSIVE ! What a great LP this is, testament to the talent in England at this time. Its always an added bonus when you pay a lot of money for a collectors record that you can actually listen to it ! This magnificent LP was released in 1971 in England France and Uruguay . The is the impossibly rare URUGUAY pressing and it is a RADIO STATION PROMO. The UK Parlophone pressing is the most highly prized by collectors, a mint UK copy  is an easy £1500 and rising....This is the URUGUAY RADIO STATION pressing and its  condition is ASTOUNDING. Firstly the sleeve which is highly unusual. This is the sort of stuff that attracted me to make the change from being  a serious record collector to becoming a completest record collector.  So I hunted down the records I wanted from every country they were  ever released in.Because of the various differences which I found fascinating. This sleeve resembles the Taiwan releases of their LP`s where the sleeve is  completely enveloped in cellophane and on the inside of the LP as well ! The cellophane they used here in this Uruguayan release is of a much heavier gauge than that used by the Taiwanese . And the stock they used is also heavier gauge than the Taiwanese who make their album jackets with the same style. The sleeve is in Near EXCELLENT condition due to the protection given by the  cellophane. There is extremely light ring ware the back of the sleeve also shows  some ring ware. Double click the beautiful red ODEON record labels both sides 1 and 2  are covered in a Radio Station promo stamp but much of this has faded over the last  43 years. For some insane reason it has the word AGADU on both sides which according to my Spanish speaking sister means TO DISCHARGE A GUN ?  Anyhow this is another one of the many reasons I found these obscure and SUPER RARE pressings from other countries so fascinating . I love the way they have the song titles firstly in  Spanish then in English just in case someone in Uruguay who this release was aimed at speaks  English. Both labels are spotlessly clean and show no spindle trails what so ever. Both side one and side 2 have an unbelievable mirror look that shimmers in the light. I can not see a single hairline anywhere on either side of the vinyl. Even under a spot light I cant see a single hairline . The only marks on this LP that should not be there are in the dead wax  area and are not damage they were made by the pressing plates in the same manner as  a freehand etched matrix number is made. So I have no problem in listing this piece of magnificent  vinyl as close to mint as is possible to achieve. This LP is EXQUISITELY PRISTINE . It plays all the way MAGNIFICENTLY. I can not fault the play back of this LP. It plays LOUD BOLD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR ALL THE WAY THROUGH . Without doubt the UK pressing of this LP is KING the FRENCH pressing is excellent but for me this ULTRA RARE URUGUAYAN pressing is a  very close second to the UK . Its a heavy hunk of vinyl made of extremely well. So a beautiful rare pressing of a seriously rare and desired collectors LP. This is a very rare record if your lucky eBay may find 1 every 3 or 5 years. So an excellent cheaper option to the ULTRA highly prized and swiftly rising UK pressing . Rare pressings of rare records are only going one way .These pressings from other countries may not achieve the UK prices but I for one believe that is changing rapidly. One this is guaranteed. ALL rare records are rising and these rare RARE pressings of  highly prized collectors records will certainly follow the UK values simply because they are  the very VERY RARE, cheaper option ! If your lucky enough to own the UK copy and the  FRENCH copy here is your SERIOUSLY RARE OPPORTUNITY to own the copy that  in terms of RARITY puts all other releases of this in the shade. The seldom seen URUGUAYAN  release , and this baby is a absolute CORKER !!!! SLEEVE GRADES EXCELLENT MINUS. MAKE NO BONE ABOUT THIS THOUGH !!!! THIS LP IS AS CLOSE TO MINT AS IS POSSIBLE.

A PENNY START AND NO RESERVE !!!!!!
