The auctioned item it's one of the rarest progressive album in the world at moment and one of the rarest lps in our catalogue.

graded EX-/EX- for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system

label: the label it's yellow with black writing and it's in very nice conditions without marks, writings or anything else. Many copies of this lp does have an off centre and so there's problems during play but NOT THIS COPY that plays perfectelly and don't have problems.
cover:the cover it's matt and gatefold. Ra label was a private press and most cocies of this lp were sold during the gigs and for this reason many are authographed by all the four members and this is also a guarantee that the lp it's ok because the members don't sell personally records with an off centre problem and as you well know many copies of this lp does have this big problem. As you can see from the photos there is a small crease on the bottom left corner and also the other three are not totally perfect but this is really a minimum problem. On the back there's a start of ring up and bottom but it's just at very beginning so nothing of important for a so rare lp. I have to grade this cover not less than EX- but for a very strict grading system.
vinyl: the vinyl appear in absolutelly great condition with just the minimum possible of wear like ultra superficial scuffs on side one and the same on side two. During the plays I have noticed some very minor crackles in some passage but just for some moments and just for to be very cautious in my description. There's noyhing to worry with this copy but I need to be very strict in these ebay auctions because I need happy customers only.
review: This one of the best electric folk rock examples that emerges from the british and the worldwide seventies progressive scene, as Trees/On The Shore, Fresh Maggotts, Synanthesia. This record is not just for folk collectors but also for who need have the best examples of the UK progressive folk for his progressive collection. This is the fourth album and his musical quality it's totally different to the others three lps, "Live At The Bolton", "Time and Tide", "On The Radio" that are totally incosistent to my ears and I think also to the most of you but this is an unique masterpiece totally different to them. Great and inspired melodies, beautiful female vocal, fluid electric solos of John Turk that at the end give us his greatest guitar work ... and the indispensables flute interludes of his wife Shirley Turk superb vocalist too. This is a record that rarelly turns up and his in the best possibles conditions. Don't miss it! SORRY FOR THE MINIMUM BID but this is really the minimum I can accept for a so rare item for don't loose my investment and this is a correct auction very different the many "pushed up" auctions I see all around! Please open very well your eyes!
