This US band moved to the UK in the late 60 s and never returned. They had a unique and exhilarating style that combined progressive rock with hillbilly and country sounds. They released four albums in the early 70 s with this being their masterpiece. There is a bit of everything in this magical collection. The album was released on the British Vertigo label in 1971, number 6360038. This is the original release of the album. The album has never been released on any medium in the US. The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs. It plays with virtually no background noise. The vinyl grades NM. The gatefold album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The original lined label inner sleeve is included and has all seams intact. The cover grades NM.

Grading Information:
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.
I use four grades in grading: NM, VG , VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you ll see more defects on this than your VG rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG , but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn t there. That s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.
Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.
Shipping Information Combined Shipping:
Shipping for US bidders will be free via Media Mail.
Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is welcomed and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately 24. Additional albums will be shipped for 6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than 30. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of 10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
