Nine Days' Wonder biography
Formed as far back as 66, this group recorded their wild debut album (between Zappa, Soft Machine, Crimson and Purple, if you can picture that!!) as a fairly international quintet (4 different nationalities between the five of them) before breaking up the following year, with their sax player, John Earle joining Gnidrolog for their classic Lady Lake. Singer-drummer Seyffer then joined the group Medusa, which soon became the second line-up of NDW and by the start of 73, they were recording their We Never Lost Control, which was more conventional prog (Nektar comes to mind). NDW stayed a very unstable unit with their straight rock album Only The Dancer recorded as a quartet in England and on which VdGG's Jackson guests on a few tracks. The group's last album Sonnet To Billy Frost was a press-dismissed British-sounding rock opera.

RECORD GRADING
I use a very conservative process when grading my eBay items.
MINT
Sealed album...!!!
NEAR MINT
Like new. The vinyl retains its original gloss, and the jacket is clean with no wear nor marks on the label.
EX EXCELLENT
May have a few scuffs or very light scratches which do not affect its playability. May have some minor rubs on the label or spindle. May have some writing on the label which will be noted. May have some slight wear on the jacket but no splits! This is the desirable grade for most collectors.
VG+
VERY GOOD+
The vinyl and cover has light general wear including scratches (may be audible), small splits on the jacket, and some label wear (including writing).
VG
VERY GOOD
General wear both on vinyl and jacket, audible scratches, split jacket (including ringwear) and label wear.
POOR/DAMAGED
Non-playable!!! Sold for the jacket only, or sold as a "rare" filler copy.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN VINYL WAS THE STANDARD, 20 TO 30% OF ALBUMS CAME OUT OF THE SHRINK WRAP AS BAD PRESSINGS WITH SURFACE NOISE. OBVIOUSLY, SUCH BAD PRESSINGS WOULD NOT BE IDENTIFIABLE THROUGH VISUAL EXAMINATION, NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL
