Notes
UK 1st press (A1U/B1U & A1U/B2U).Subsequent pressings (A1U/B4U & A2U/B4U), have a different label layout,
This release has an innovative 8-page, 3-fold die-cut heavy card sleeve. Opened out, it forms a 'T' shape. This shape is printed black & white on inside and full-color on reverse.
When the lower page is folded up (to contain the liner) the sleeve then takes the form of a 6-page triptych - with the die-cut tab & slot linking together at the center. When locked 'closed' the liner/vinyl can still be inserted via the top opening.
The back cover has a blurred shot of Stacia dancing on-stage, with text that encapsulates the essence of the work:
"Technicians of Space Ship Earth
This is Your Captain Speaking
Your Captain is Dead"
"Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford".
[The inside spread photos include members of The Pink Fairies].
The package IS MISSING an A4, 24-page 'Log Book', packed with the minutiae of the band's 'flight' through space & time. This 'Log' is printed black on white 'newspaper-quality' paper.
Produced at Olympic Studios, Barnes. Track B2 first recorded at Air Studios.
? 1971
Manufactured in England - A product of Liberty-United Artists Records Ltd.

CONDITION
The Vinyl VG+
On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks well played with several hairlines but not feel able, no deep scratches or audio sounding marks with a nice clean and glossy appearance. Definitely not visually Mint but overall clean and Glossy and probably a VG+ possibly VG++
The Audio Quality VG++
I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system, the audio is nice ! background noise is evident on run ins but when music kicks in this is not evident
Certainly (no) clicks or jumps !!
The Labels: EXCELLENT +
A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES can be seen only on each side,angled in strong light.
Confirming this has definitely been played lots of times !!! But For a vinyl that is NEARLY 50 years old VERY GOOD CONDITION,
The RARE GIMMEX Outer Cover Excellent
This is the original Printed cover with , in NICE condition!! nice clean appearance !!
(NO) SPLITS OR TEARS OR NASTY NAMES WRITTEN ON ETC
LOTS OF SHELF RUB BUT ALL INTACT AND NO RIPS OR BITS MISSING WHICH IS USUALLY EVIDENT WITH THIS NOTORIOUSLY FRAGILE SLEEVE (see photos)
PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES and USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO FULLY ASSESS THIS ICONIC 48 YEAR OLD ROCK VINYL
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER GREAT CONDITION MINT, RARE,COLLECTIBLE VINYLS LISTED FOR COMBINED POSTAGE ?
