Outstanding Finnish prog classic featuring lyrics by Wigwam’s Jim Pembroke, and the ’to be expected’ instrumental virtuosity from the seminal exponents of Scandinavian jazz/rock !!!

N. B. : I will not offer a formal grading of records, as I have had several experiences of sellers, either intentionally or unwittingly, grading records well above their actual status, i.e. 'excellent' - when there are numerous surface marks etc. Instead I will attempt to offer as comprehensive and honest description of each aspect of the item for sale as I can, with the explicit statement that you can always contact me for further details should my descriptors appear insufficient or unclear. Additionally, my returns terms allow for items to be sent back to me if they do not reflect my listings evaluation and descriptions !!!

Vinyl Condition ; Some light hairlines and surface lines only, no major scratches or scuffs. Nice and glossy and clean !!!

Cover Condition ; Laminated front cover is excellent, with only very light signs of wear, and creasing. Matt rear cover has even less wear. All seams are fully adhered and intact. Spine is very clear and strong with virtually nil wear ! ( See photographs )

Lyric Inner Again in excellentcondition, with a very small surface tear, which is barely noticeable ! ( See photographs )

Aural Evaluation; Played through really, really well with great strength and clarity. Some light surface crackle between tracks and in quieter passages, but certainly no skips, pops or jumps at all !!!
