VINYL: EX++. A super heavy, exemplary, barely played copy with nearly pristine vinyl. This is out of this world and cannot possibly be found so late in the day. An upgrade for most collectors for sure. I played this on my Linn Sondek/ B&W set up and it sounded fantastic without any clicks , jumps , crackle etc. NO hairlines or marks. Only minimal paper retraction traces (even new vinyls have this), barely visible just under a strong light. This will be an upgrade for most weathered collectors of quality prog and psych.
Great and very much underrated band this one. They supported ELP a few times in the early seventies and both albums were produced by GREG LAKE. Presumably, he helped to get them the deal with prog label, Harvest. Working on the basic, guitar, bass, drums principle, they deliver some catchy numbers, that benefit from great instrumental passages and time changes. GREG LAKE in my opinion has done the band a lot of justice with his production, as the music sounds fresh, clear and has really stood the test of time. A great addition to the music is the frequent use of the VCS synth, with gives it a lot of added texture. Sadly as is the case with a lot of these early 70's outfits, they disbanded too soon, recording one more equally great LP Highly recommended.(from: progarchives.com)
If you like Yes, Rush, High tide, Marsupilami etc. this is for you!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
