THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! THIS IS ALSO THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH 1U/1U MATRIXES, A PINK CHARISMA LABEL, & A VERY DISTINCTIVE 'WIDE SPINE' GATEFOLD COVER (LATER ONES HAD NARROWER SPINES INSTEAD!)!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS CHARISMA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1U/1U MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'E.J.DAY' GATEFOLD 'WIDE SPINE' COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Charisma UK 1st Pressing from 1970 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is CAS 1027 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Charisma Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 1 MEGA light TINY scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely ULTRA faint touches of MEGA low level background sound in a VERY few places!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade FULL Excellent if not Excellent+!!!! SUPERB RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Gatefold 'Wide Spine' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has barely ANY edge wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY spinal wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour and side words FULLY readable!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), only VERY slight rubbing (MILES better than most!), and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!! The only other VERY minor detail to mention is that there is some VERY minor evidence of 'touching in' to the VERY edges ONLY - though this has been INCREDIBLY well done and is VERY hard to notice - and only serves to ENHANCE this cover and certainly does NOT degrade it in any way AT ALL!!!! This cover also has NO sticker tears, NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
