beautiful UK psych / progressive blues album

this one has always been hard to find

even way back then

ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING OF THE BLUES TO PROG CROSSOVER RECORDS

WITH STUNNING ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS OF PSYCH, JAZZ AND CLASSICAL

an extremely nice, unbelievably near 100% perfect sleeve makes this copy essential

RECORD

the record plays loud and clear with only minor background noise

presence is amazingly immediate and 'thumpy' with startlingly clear drums and bass

clean guitar, vocals and other lead instruments with no distortion

fantastic bottom end, penetrating highs and clean midrange create gorgeous clarity across the entire audio range

this, of course, is primarily down to engineer Barry Sheffield who also masterminded the fine sound on the first two albums by Black Sabbath

THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED AND ENJOYED A LOT BUT IS STILL AN ENTIRELY ENJOYABLE 'KEEPER' COPY

THERE ARE NUMEROUS LIGHT SUPERFICIAL SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES

LABELS

the labels have a very (very!) faint name on side one and there is extremely faint colour added around the rim of the side two spindle hole

also to the 'A' and 'R' of the HARVEST lettering

there are two other minor and tiny ink marks (one on each side) just below the 'BA' of BAKERLOO (see photos)

both labels otherwise clean and bright with almost no spindle traces

OBVIOUSLY THE LABELS ARE ORIGINALS, WITH THE MADE IN GT. BRITAIN TEXT TO THE LOWER PERIMETER

AND THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD. . . TEXT AT THE TOP

ALSO NO LATER 'EMI' BOXED LOGOS

(THIS ALBUM WAS DELETED SOON AFTER RELEASE AND WAS NEVER ISSUED WITH THOSE LOGOS ANYWAY)

INNER

the original poly-lined Harvest advertising inner sleeve is excellent with minor creasing

the colour is jet-black over creamy white (see photos)

THE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS, TEARS WRITING OR OTHER DAMAGE / DEFACEMENT

COVER

the cover is beyond belief

almost totally mint and I can only imagine it must have always been stored or housed separately from the well-enjoyed and well-played record

it smells absolutely brand new as if fresh from the factory and the "Red Balloon" record shop (insert favourite nostalgic reference)

truly incredible with near perfect spine, seams, opening edges, corners

the interior layout is snow-white and absolutely spendid

there are some tiny 'jags' in the lamination but this is 'factory' and would have been there from new

the laminate is otherwise gloriously glossy and shines like glass (see photos)

genuinely stunning - it commands attention I can assure you!
