****ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!****PERPLEXING SONGCRAFT!!!***AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT TOPACTS!!!***

!!!!A VERY HARD FIND!!! Most have been bought up by collectors!! This is hardly offered these days!!

 I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .The audio is impeccable. Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

Vinyl: EX .  A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. Only a few wispy hairlines can be seen under a strong lightsource. Fantastic songcraft! Just listen to "Refugees" and be blown away!!!  For me this is essential prog like Gentle Giant and early Yes. Peter Hammill was one of the most important composers of the 70's onwards. I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection. Of course NO jumps/clicks/skips etc.

Original pink Charisma matt textured 'scroll' labels - Both in EX condition apart from a couple of extremely light, small spindle marks. 

Gatefold sleeve: VG+. Original G&L gatefold sleeve with B&C Records credits to the rear. These original sleeves are very fragile. The printing rubs off very easily and they are extremely prone to wear. This one is in lovely condition with just a little light, storage wear. This is a really nice clean and straight example with no splits, rips, tears, major creases, ring wear. This previously belonged to Richard Harris (Mac Arthurs Park) a seen on the plastic strip top right. A small white vintage stickersticker to the right top. The spine and edges have storage wear. The inner gatefold is clean, bright and unmarked!

It doesn't get much better than this!!! Awesome condition and possibly the best I have ever come across in 35 years!!! believe me I have seen quite a few although less and less lately, this is getting so very hard to find as a first press proper. 

 Side 1: Darkness; Refugees; White Hammer.

Side 2: Whatever Would Robert Have Said; Out of My Book; After the Flood.

The absolute rarity of this album is not to be underestimated. It hardly ever surfaces nowadays. This has a lovely deep glossy sheen!! Hauntingly beautiful song craft!!!

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 41.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

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!!
