I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL LP RARITY FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PROG ALBUMS EVER MADE IT WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THE TOP TEN BEST PSYCH/PROG ALBUMS EVER CONCEIVED!!!!!!
HARD TO FIND AS A FIRST PRESS THESE DAYS. THIS IS THE "EYEBALL" LABEL WHICH IS THE ONLY ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS ISSUE FOR THIS CLASSIC ALBUM. LATER LABELS ARE MORE COMMON LIKE THE "I" LABEL AND THE PALM TREE LABEL.
THIS MONO LP IS FAR RARER THAN THE STEREO VARIETY. THE MONO VERSION WAS RETRACTED FROM SALES WITHIN A WEEK AND ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WERE ACTUALLY SOLD. APPARENTLY THE BAND WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE MIX, PREFERRING THE STEREO ONE.
ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THIS ALBUM IS ITS ULTRA WIDE SPINE WHICH MEANS IT'S AN ABSOLUTE VERY FIRST PRESS.
SO HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM AS AN ABSOLUTE ULTRA HEAVY FIRST PRESS, NOT MANY OUT THERE LEFT . IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN IN THIS CONDITION WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.
I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL RARITIES FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! A FANTASTIC ALBUM BY JETHRO TULL, STUPENDOUSLY CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP . A MUST FOR ANY PROG COLLECTOR.
Vinyl: VG+. A fantastic ultra heavy vinyl and even despite light hairlines this plays phenomenally. The ultra high groove walls ensure the very best audio experience possible for this album. Hardly ever any static. The vinyl retains its beautiful gloss . The earliest ISLAND vinyl is the equivalent of a Rolls Royce in the motor industry; heavy, longlasting and nearly indestructible. Of course NO skips, jumps etc.
Gatefold Gimmix Sleeve: VG+ to EX. A lovely laminated gatefold sleeve with the inner flipbacks and wide spine. One bottom corner crease, otherwise fine. Fully 100% legible spine.The pictures tell all. It has the original poly lined blue printed inner. You don't find them in this fantastic condition very often!!!
Labels: EX+. The pink labels have beautiful deep colours and are the textured earliest variety.
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.
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00. Please wait for my invoice before paying. 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.
