Matrices : RS-2631-1 and RS 2632-1

USA 1970 and bonus disc UK 1970 on Parlophone

AN ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!! VINYL IN A UNIQUE NM CONDITION!!!FIRST PRESS RARE EARTH LABELS, Progressive offshoot of MOTOWN!!!ULTRA RARE!!! I will also include the UK vinyl of this (First Press Parlophone) strictly as a bonus not part of the listing as I cannot find a sleeve to house it and have given up finding one after many years. This bonus disc (not pictured) is VG (It plays through fine with some crackle here and there).

In the last few years I have only come across two  copies of this great Toe Fat album which was a pre-cursor to Uriah Heep. Toe Fat incorporated Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake. The musicianship AND the songcraft are simply sublime!!!   Sensational sound quality, NO skips or jumps. NO clicks,  NO crackle or only sporadic low level static noise, this is really a stunning heavy vinyl with a beautiful deep gloss. This vinyl has not been played !!! A definite NM!!!  I hardly ever use this grade unless totally justified. This is such a rare occasion. . Don't be mistaken, this is a great quality vinyl, worthy of inclusion into a great prog collection!!! Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more in-depth observation.

***********SUPERB CLASSIC ALBUM *******************
1ST EVER PRESS - THESE ARE GETTING IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN UP NOW IN ANY DECENT CONDITION - BUT THIS ONE IS AWESOME.
JUST PRESSED DEEP SHINE - RARE!!

 Of course there are NO skips, jumps, clicks or sticks. Unbelievably as it may sound there is not hardly any  background noise at all. Impossible to find for this 1970 vinyl!!!   This great album bears resemblance to Deep Purple and later Uriah Heep. I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!!

Vinyl: NM , a great upgrade. This is a seriously desirable album and very rare in this splendid condition!!! The replay is simply outstanding!!! NO jumps , NO clicks, NO skips, ....and... NO static crackle worth any mention. The CD re-issue has nothing on this formidable recording!!!  For all my regulars in Italy, Russia, Japan and the States, you know who you are, it does not get much better than this.

Sleeve: EX . No creases. This has the deletion cut-in on the bottom corner (see pic). A "Promotional Copy NOT FOR SALE" sticker to the top right. This USA sleeve was actually censored in that the nude couple on the UK sleeve was replaced by a picture of a lamb!!!! One punch hole to the top corner near the opening. This album was deleted and hardly sold at all at the time. It is now a very sought after pre-Uriah Heep album of the Golden Era.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible, LEAVE ALONE IN THIS STUNNING NM VINYL CONDITION!!!

Labels are NM.

Important :International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 40.00. please wait for my invoice in this case. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon. If you are the winner and do not want the bonus UK vinyl please send a message and I will lower the postage accordingly.
