Here we have an original 1st UK pressed double album in stereo from 1973 on the United Artists label with a cat. no. UAD 60037/8 and matrices A-2U, B-2U, A-2U & B-2U.

Vinyl: EX+. The vinyl is in lovely condition and has a lovely deep gloss shine. Almost all of it plays with awesome clarity with hardly any surface noise. There are no visible markings, but I am detailing below the noises which can be heard: Side 1: Slight crackle on lead-in but before music starts. A little short and very light crackle which is hardly audible. A couple of light clicks in run-off after music. Side 2: Nothing but 2 light clicks which seem to blend into the music (this is a lous album, remember!!!) Side 3: Track 1 has 2 light clicks and a light one later on. Side 4: At the end of the 1st sectiontheir is an almost inaudible tick for about a minute during the talking section (if it wasn't so quiet and had music, it would never be heard. I think I've detailed as much as I can.

Labels: NM. The labels are in wonderful condition with no marks and have virtually no spindle marking.

Sleeve: EX+. The six panel fold out sleeve is in lovely condition (compared with most, which seem to fall apart easily). It has virtually no wear and is the best I've seen.

Inner Sleeves: The orange/yellow psych designed inners are in superb condition with a 1" section starting to wear the colour but not coming through as a split (I have removed vinyl from them). Again, these are the best I've seen.

Poster: This poster is a rare find these days with this album as most have been on a wall or two and lost and torn to bits over the years. This one is especially rare as it has been signed by 5 band members, Dave Brock, Huw Lloyd-Langton, Harvey Bainbridge, Nik Turner And Clive Deamer.Yes it has a pin hole in each corner and has a 3" tear, but this could easily be repaired from the back and is an amazing collectible!!!

All in all this is a wonderful piece of Hawkwind history, the likes of which you won't find again!!!
