The rarest and best UK major label acid psych folk LP

absolutely unique and quintessentially British/Irish

easily one of the hardest UK albums to find in top shape, one of the top rarest Vertigo album, rarer than any by Nick Drake. I have only ever had this once before with a flap missing, this copy is complete!!

ONE OF THE VERY BEST AND MOST MEMORABLE ALBUMS EVER ISSUED FROM THE TINY AND TOTALLY UNDERGROUND  ACID FOLK GENRE WITH MASSIVE PSYCHEDELIC INFLUENCES

A FINER SET OF QUIRKY, RUSTIC, MYSTERIOUS, BURIED AND HAUNTING SONGS COULD ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT BE FOUND, THERE ISLAND ALBUM  "KIP OF THE SERENES" IS ALSO WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT!!

STRANGELY STRANGE BUT ODDLY NORMAL

The absolute rarity of this album is not to be underestimated. It hardly ever surfaces nowadays. This is an absolutely gorgeous slab of early quality VERTIGO vinyl which is in splendid VG+ condition!! This has a lovely deep glossy sheen with just a few wispy shallow hairlines not affecting the splendid audio!! Hauntingly beautiful songcraft!!! Immense quality progfolk album that ticks all the right boxes and incredibly hard to find. I have twenty five years experience in grading. It doesn't get much better than this!!

Second ALBUM OF THIS SUPER BAND THAT HARDLY SOLD AT ALL BUT IS NOW VERY SOUGHT AFTER BY PROG CONNOISEURS

A CLASSIC FOLK/PROGRESSIVE LP THAT SHOULD BE IN EVERY QUALITY PROG/FOLK COLLECTION - if you cannot buy this you should at least try and get a re-issue and enjoy!

Please, also have a look at my other prog albums on sale this week.

ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!! VINYL IN A UNIQUE VG+ CONDITION!!!

!!!!AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND!!!GORGEOUS EX+!!! A few hundred of the LP were ever sold!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOO very rare!!!!!

BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! 

****ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!****PERPLEXING SONGCRAFT!!!***AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT TOPACTS!!!***

!!!!A VERY HARD FIND!!! Most have been bought up by collectors!! This is hardly offered these days!!

In all my years this is only the second time I have come across this PROGMONSTER.  Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .The audio is impeccable. Inspected under an intense light source and angled.

Vinyl: VG++ .  A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. Only a few wispy hairlines can be seen under a strong lights ource. Fantastic songcraft!! A personal favourite of mine and I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection.  Outstanding audio delivery in all respects with a crystal clear, deep, rich, warm and detailed sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing and it's always an immense pleasure to return to this one) there is barely any surface noise. This is a beautifully clean pressing (and I must emphasise again how difficult it is to find a copy which plays this well). The whole LP sounds absolutely great and plays to a high standard with superb clarity, no groove-wear and no distortion and is very strictly graded a strong EX  for audio without anything untoward, no static or crackle at all - great copy!! Of course, NO skips, NO jumps, NO ticks.

Gimmix Sleeve: VG+.  A very vulnerable sleeve indeed, which will deteriorate by just even looking at it. This sleeve is totally complete with nothing missing including the all important lyric flaps. Although it has a couple of creases and some tiny tears on the die-cut as shown in the pictures. I think the condition of the sleeve is above average and certainly it is a very desirable album. "VO PRICE GUIDE" on the reverse. This album is unbelievably hard to ever find in this complete state with all colours beautiful and intact.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

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.
