This is a classic Prog album in stunning condition.
It will be a long long time before this album turns up again in this condition.
With this most unsettling of debut albums, Catapilla staked their claim as perhaps the most dramatic and certainly most visionary of all the British progressive bands saddled with the epithet jazz-rock .
Catapilla features intricate arrangements, the gyrations of vocalist extraordinaire Anna Meek and some mighty heavy riffing, courtesy of the Catapilla horn section.
Vinyl condition: EX , Excellent condition - some hairlines which produce ticks and light noises here and there.
My dad purchased this new in 1971 and is an avid record collector.
We have decided to put it up for auction due to its amazing condition and the fact it has only been played a couple of times since purchasing new in 1971.
Cover condition: Excellent, see pics.
I have taken photos of all parts of the gatefold cover.
A bit of light brownness to the Vertigo inner sleeve due to the fact this record is 43 years old and light scuffs to the corners of the cardboard gatefold cover.
Anything I havent covered that you would like to know? Please message me and I will be happy to answer any questions.
I am also selling my Vertigo Swirl 1st Press - Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath separately, so please see my other auction too if you are interested.
