Machined matrices: ILPS+9099+A and ILPS+9099+B
A first press on TEXTURED labels
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by WHITE NOISE called "AN ELECTRIC STORM" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press PINK "I" TEXTURED label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE YES'S ALL TIME RAREST LPS EVER AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT TURNED OUT TO BE A POOR SELLING LP, AND AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!!
This album was obviously a labour of love, taking a whole year to complete seven amazing songs. The musicians who composed and arranged it, Delia Derbyshire and David Vorhaus, were absolutely genius. All in all one of the most inventive albums of all time and definitely in my top ten. Should be better known.(rateyourmusic.com)
I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL RARITIES FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! A FANTASTIC ALBUM WITH STUPENDOUSLY CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP . A MUST FOR ANY PROG COLLECTOR.
Vinyl: VG+ to EX. Only lightly played. There are no marks and just two very wispy hairlines and just a couple of very fine short paper retraction traces. I played this twice in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. The audio is just stunning for this very thick earliest ISLAND press which has the earliest textured labels. Any background noise is very occasional and few and far between. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed mega rare now. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!
Sleeve: VG+ to EX+. Fantastic looked after sleeve without any damage. A couple of small thumb creases on the opening. Light edge storage wear. The spine is fully legible. Impossible to find this very scarce album in this well preserved condition. Lightest of storage wear on the bottom edge but I'm being deliberately picky. The album has been kept in a protective sleeve from day one!! No writing, no marks , one of the best I have ever come across!! This is a great copy!!
This has the original Atlantic "HEADHUNTERS" inner sleeve without any splits.
This also has the original lyric insert which has just one corner crease.
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00. 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!!

An error crept into this listing. This album does not have a Headhunters inner or a lyric sheet. This was copied from a Yes - "time and a word" listing. This album has its own standard inner.
