We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

The SOFT MACHINE
"Volume ONE"
USA - PROBE CPLP 4500 -
- MINTY CLEAN VINYL
Without lead guitarist Daevid Allen, the first Soft Machine, fondly remembered as Volume 1, sought to meld psychedelia and progressive-rock through Wyatt’s imaginative, liberally panned drumming, Ayers’ jazz & pop bass grooves, and Ratledge’s horror movie Doors organ. With those pieces in motion, they achieved a wondrous time capsule of experimental pop under the constant surreal lyricism of Wyatt and Ayers. Like Syd Barrett was to Pink Floyd, Ayers brought an infatuation with unhinged, uncouth pop to the group aesthetic, which would make Vol. 1 the most conventional Soft Machine album in terms of structure. Ayers wasn’t long for this band, though. He left on good terms after the US tour in order to focus on his solo career, which would find modest success over a few decades and a dozen odd releases, many of which returned to the themes first explored on Vol. 1. There’s no rest for the wicked, as they say and the bass-hole was quickly filled by one Hugh Hopper just in time to record their second album in 1969. Hopper had previously played with Wyatt in the Daevid Allen Trio, so it was an easy fit that reflected in the work they produced together. The band's debut is certainly a very creative album, and with all the organ fireworks going on during the instrumental jams, one may not notice on the first couple listens that the "lead guitar" Kevin Ayres is credited with is actually a bass. There are no boring or weak moments. The sound production suits the music just fine. Fuzzy organ and bass are spread all over the place, from short odd-time-signature experiments "Box 25/4 Lid" to downtempo almost-ballad-like type songs ( "A Certain Kind"), to three-minute repetitive trance in "We Did It Again".
"Why Are We Sleeping" is a highlight, with simple structured organ chords, excellent lyrics and frenetic solo...but they're all really good. Nice humor experiments with vocals, overall warmth...?
