1970/UK/Harvest Records SHVL 782….. here's a clean original first UK pressing of this rare lp. The laminated gatefold cover is in clean solid condition with light corner dings/wear, slight shelf wear, a couple of small spots of laminate lifting, otherwise the cover is solid and clean with no splits or delete and a clean sharp readbalr spine. The vinyl is in Excellent condition. The record is clean and glossy with light inaudible storage stains/blemishes and a handful of super light inaudible hairline scuffs caused from the inner sleeve. The record plays clean with light occasional noise, mainly between the odd track. The record plays with clean crisp fidelity. The labels are clean with a couple of light spindle marks. A gorgeous copy of this rare original UK pressing! Please check my auctions for other folk and psych lp’s, good luck and thanks for looking!
This album was remembered as much for its cover as anything else -- a picture of a model Titanic and a model Concorde sinking in a puddle, as rafts of toast ferry thousands of baked beans to the shore. Musically it was some good jazz-rock, with the emphasis not always on Brown's vocals and elliptical lyrics, as Jim Mullen's "Highland Song" offered an inventive, lengthy instrumental as the disc's centerpiece. The title cut has a Pink Floyd edge, surprising given Brown's predilection for jazz and blues, but it works well in the context. Guitarist Mullen is co-writer throughout, while the rhythm section of Rob Tait and Steve Glover swing rather than plod. "Station Song Platform Two" employs Mellotron to full prog rock effect, while "Got a Letter from a Computer" seems eerily ahead of its time for the early '70s. This was the last gasp of this incarnation of Piblokto!, but there's no doubt they went out on a high note.
GRADING
MINT: I consider New Unplayed or Sealed items only.
M- or Mint Minus, very clean with clean visual appearance and sound, there may be a couple of light inaudible hairline scuffs or such and will be mentioned in the listing, a Mint- record looks and plays very clean. Same for the cover. Very clean with no delete or other issues.
EXCELLENT: still very collectable for most, visually and sonicly clean. A handful of light inaudible scuffs, or hairlines. Cover will be clean with little wear, or delete. No splits.
VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal wear, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much. Cover will have slight shelf wear, and or delete, minor split.
VG+ the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects.
