The sound is a mix or rock and experimental progressive jazz covering a range of super early 1970s sounds. If that muddles you, think Jazz in a similar style to Miles Davis but with more flutes and guitar sounds making it sound more rock if anything, but heralded as ground breaking upon it's release in early 1971. Rather than too many solos, the music flows more collectively from all instruments in a collaborated form. Joining Ian Carr was a large mix of musicians such as Chris Spedding on guitar, Karl Jenkings on various from keyboards to sax and oboe, Jef Clyne giving wonderful bass and double bass, and the other musicians providing mainly wind instruments to swirl things up experimentally.
Although widely evailable on other sources (CD for example), the best way to hear this music is on vinyl, as it was made to be heard, and hense the collectable aspect for LPs still in good condition.

I'm trusting that ebayers interested in this will help it reach around it's normal sales, and personally prefer to 'bid' than to 'buy it now' so have set a fairly low reserve compaired to the asking prices I've seen when searching (all sadly Buy It Now's or Best Offers). Hoping this will give a little fun to auction bidding rather than just selling it flatly and relisting.
