Classic one-off Canterbury Prog/Psych album from Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart

The FIRST ever LP issued on the PVC label - founded by JEM Records importers and distributed through SIRE Records. They also had a VISA Records label (Distributed by PASSPORT Records) around same time. Both PVC and VISA released a lot of - mostly British - Progressive Rock.

This LP is the very first album issued on the PVC label, featuring their initial white labels (all Text one side, Graphic design on reverse) and packed with the inner sleeve featuring several VISA Records - as PVC itself had no catalog yet to promote when this 1st Pressing was issued.

STERLING is stamped in dead wax and HUB is etched on other side.

Back Cover features unique-to-this-issue liner notes directly from Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart
Specially written for this First USA release of the album.
Not on previous releases in any country.

Engineered: Command, Olympic, Tollington Park

___________________________________________________

From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend..
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets,
plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Getting very close to an AUCTION series of over 100 choice vintage Prog Rock, Prog/Psych, Krautrock, Electronic and related LPs
As soon as I have that all ready to list, those will be up.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection!

* I reserve the right to cancel any bids by any international bidders with poor or very low feedback.

.

I do NOT ever want to exclude or deny all bidders from any particular country, even though a few specific countries are responsible for almost all spurious "not received" or "not as described" claims over the years. This evolves... for instance in France, buyers from Ile de France seem, more and more, to be very prone to make a false claim. (one of my earliest, very best customers was from Ile de France but moved to Belgium some years back) ...so even there, I hate to exclude ALL buyers from there; however I cannot possibly afford to be scammed due to the unlucky result of a winning bidder being a bad actor. IF you are from that area and want to bid/buy, simply contact me first and give me good reason to trust you.

Also it seems to be the fun game recently for some in Germany, Spain and Italy to buy far more than the collector can afford and make false claims on many of them. Again I will need to know you can be trusted. Many, many great buyers in all those countries, but plenty of trouble comes from them as well. Brazil has terrible post/mail problems. Italy has long Customs hold times. In NONE of those cases is it my fault and I will not lose out because of other countries' problems beyond my control. Occasional problems from China and Russia -I reserve the right to cancel a sale or bids from any buyer, case-by-case if I note problematic behavior or red flags.

Having said that, I will have no need whatsoever to take action for any buyers with solid, good reputations and feedback. I sell regularly to all those places (though Ile de France bidders will definitely need to contact me FIRST before bidding). I wish there was no need for this caution, but I must and I do protect myself. If you are honest, responsible and genuine, we will never have a problem and may bid buy with no worries.
