This is a genuine UK 1st pressing of this very rare UK Prog-Rock/ Psych LP. The band was a short lived outfit made up of some top UK session musicians at the time Alan Hawkshaw, Alan Parker. Herbie Flowers, Clem Cattini and Peter Lee Sterling on vocals on some tracks. This band, minus Alan Hawkshaw Peter Lee Sterling, went on to release the Ugly Custard album from a year later on the Kaleidoscope label. This album is a mainly instrumental Prog-Rock/ Psych/ Library Jazz-Rock-Funk-Breaks LP. There are vocals on a few tracks. The musicianship, as you would expect, is top notch. There are some great tracks on this album. As stated, it is a very rare LP too.
I have some other rare collectible original 1960 s 1970 s Prog Rock, Psych Folk UK LP s for sale too. This includes a UK 1st pressing of the aforementioned Ugly Custard LP on the Kaleidoscope label. So please see my other listings. Don t miss out

Sleeve: There is some mild rubbing wear to the two corner tips at the sleeve opening. There is some very minor rubbing wear to the two corner tips at the spine. The spine is in superb condition shows next to no wear. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor ringwear on some areas. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl: Firstly, there is a very light warp. It is not too noticeable, and can only really be seen when playing Side 1. It doesn t really notice when playing Side 2. It does not affect playback in any way at all. There is one very light 3.5 cm hairline surface paper sleeve rub mark on Side 1. This is not that noticeable under a strong light. There is a mild 1 cm hairline surface mark at the start of Side 1. There are two very light 1 cm hairline surface paper sleeve rub marks on Side 2. These are barely visible under a strong light.
Otherwise, there are a few light, mild, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. Overall, Very Good condition. The labels are in Excellent condition and show light or very mild spindle wear only. The original polythene-lined company paper inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear, fading creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, Excellent in many places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. There are a couple of very mild clicks on the 2nd track on Side 1. There are about 5 very light clicks on the 1st track on Side 2. These are very much in the background and hardly really notice. There are about 4 very mild clicks on the 2nd track on Side 2. Any clicks or crackle seem to be just caused by microscopic deep down dirt in the grooves. Overall, a very decent audio copy.

gt gt Grading Information All grading is very strict adheres to Record Collector specifications. However, I have fine tuned them they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.
MINT Condition This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can barely be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Very minimal wear only.
EXCELLENT Condition An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can hardly be seen under strong light. There may be a very small minor hairline mark in some instances. Play, in most cases, will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear ringwear only.
NEAR EXCELLENT Condition This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent or better. There may be some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
Very Good Condition Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light, mild or very mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use or - symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of Very Good is really not too far from being in Near Excellent condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in Good condition.
gt gt Postage Rates AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Please note that these prices include packaging costs too
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also gatefold sleeves, posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl box/ mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7 Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders 3-6 LPs . All parcels will be marked Fragile and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP s .

I consider my postage packaging costs to be very transparent very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between 0.80 to 1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
