ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!!

FIRST PRESS TAN COLOUR LABELS!!!THE LATER RED LABEL WAS A SECOND PRESS!!!

In the last few years I have only come across a few copies of this great Caravan album which in my opinion is harder to find than "If I Could ...". Sensational sound quality, NO skips or jumps. NO clicks, NO crackle or static noise, this is really a stunning heavy vinyl with a beautiful deep gloss. . If you like the music of Caravan, you could do worse than trying out some Supersister, a Dutch band of the same era (start for example with "A Girl Named You")

I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more in-depth observation. I am very glad to say that there are not any jumps or skips. Unbelievably as it may sound there is not much background noise at all, there are only a couple of hairlines. Great songcraft and a strange thing really that Caravan did not break into the big league like Genesis and Yes. I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!!

Vinyl: VG+. A nice respectable record that will sit well in all but most demanding of collections.

Sleeve: EX+. Gatefold sleeve. Sleeve "Printed in England by Robert Stace". Very nice edges with hardly any wear. One small very minor crease near the bottom. Slight corner rubs. The inside gatefold is EX+.

This comes with the original blue printed polylined inner sleeve in EX condition.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!!

Labels are NM with only minor spindling.

Important : International Postage. If over GBP 41.00, this will be sent via Signed For service. In this case please wait for my invoice.

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
