The condition of the vinyl is a strong very good plus VG , bordering on excellent - the vinyl has retained a nice jet black sheen with just a few small and extremely light surface-only scuff lines with each being non-feelable, nothing below the surface and not impinging upon the excellent sound quality. There are two slightly more noticeable 2cm scuff lines on side 2 of the vinyl but again these are non-feelable and purely superficial. There is also a little very mild shadowing on each side of the vinyl, not obvious and only noticeable when the record is held a the right angle in a good light. Excellent EX condition labels with the only blemishes being some small and extremely light spindle trails on each label adjacent to the centre hole. Very good VG condition original 1st press textured gatefold sleeve - the inside of the gatefold remains in excellent condition, there is no cardboard creasing, the spine text remains intact and legible and the gatefold itself remains fully functional. There are some blemishes, however : there is some mild intermittent scuffing on each edge accompanied by a 4cm and 7cm split on the top front side and rear side edges respectively and 8cm of light brown residue on the reverse side top edge where sellotape once resided , sporadic small areas of age discolouration along most of the edges including the spine, two small marks on the reverse side resulting from old stickers, some small light surface marks on the front and reverse sides resulting from general storage and handling, each corner suffers from rubbing which at the top of the spine is accompanied by a small 2cm split on both the front and reverse side edges, and a general look and feel of light grubbiness . Take a good look at my photos which I feel give an accurate portrayal. Excellent plus EX STEREO audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, distortion or background crackle - hard to fault in any way with crystal clear stereo sound quality and every track a great listen. No wonder 1st pressings of this highly rated psych/prog LP are so highly sought after - fabulous musicianship throughout. Comes with new die-cut white inner sleeve.
An overall very nice copy of this long lost, under the radar, 1970 Canadian prog/psych gem with the wonderful stereo sound quality being a true highlight.
