FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE GRANADA TV RECORD LIBRARY !!!!
ONE OF THE VERY FIRST COPIES EVER PRESSED.
ONE OF THE FINEST PROG ROCK LP`S EVER MADE THAT WAS NEVER ON THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST !
This is an original 1970 UK First Original pressing of the genius Prog/Rock LP called WE ARE EVERYTHING YOU SEE by LOCOMOTIVE on Parlophone E.M.I. records and featuring the Birmingham genius NORMAN HAINES. 
THE SLEEVE.
What a sleeve... Incredible artwork here. Front laminate flip back variety typical of the epoch and a sign of the times. The front panel is in EXCELLENT order. Minimal damage visible slight edge ware and corner dings but nothing to spoil the items appearance. Clean and bright with no unwanted writings anywhere on the item. Double the pictures and see the spine all spinal writings are readable and the spine has retained a square form, lovely. The reverse panel is just as good and as you can see bares the GRANADA TV RECORD LIBRARY stamp. The original inner sleeve is also present and in great condition. The sleeve grades a very strong EXCELLENT +.
THE VINYL. As you can see this is a FACTORY SAMPLE so will be from the VERY FIRST run along side with the test pressings and Promos which will be pressed in tiny numbers prior to the stock copies being pressed which go into the record shops. These pressings are hunted by the more serious and completest of record collectors !
Both of the labels are in fantastic clean condition and show minimal wear to the spindle hole. The vinyl to both sides has some spidery hair lines and on side 1 there is a mark that traverses track 2 the superb Mr Armageddon but it does`nt cause any problems at all to the playback.  Side 1 plays through its entirety without sticking jumping or intrusive background noise and there are no skips at all.  Side 1 plays a strong 8.5/ 10 and has sustained its gorgeous  high luster and holds the 1G mother stamper indicating the very earliest pressing. Side 2 is equally as stunning in a normally lit room under brighter lights you can see the very lightest hairlines but there are no feelable problems anywhere on side two either and play back is extremely hard to fault .  Side two plays ALL THE WAY without any skips jumps or sticking and no unwanted background noise that spoils the listeners enjoyment of this brilliant piece of art. 
THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST.  Old and grey, that`s exactly how I remember it. Once every 10 weeks there would be somebody good on . Whispering Bob and that ninny Nightingale they were supposed to be unearthing the latest new talent but always played it safe and unearthed dead certs !  That for my money was their error and so unbelievable talent and plenty of it fell through the cracks.  Norman Haines LOCOMOTIVE and the NORMAN HAINES band were two such groups that never made it.  This is one of the best Prog albums ever made and still to this day it remains an incredibly underrated unrecognised piece of PROG GENIUS. The vinyl grades as Excellent minus.
Its almost impossible to find a stock copy of this painfully rare LP to find a Factory Sample not for sale from the Granada Television library, you may never see another !
