Here is some of what allmusic.com has to say

"the Move sounded so new that their 1968 debut still sounds unusual, ping-ponging between restless, kaleidoscopic pop and almost campy salutes to early rock & roll, punctuated by the occasional foray into the English countryside and, with the closing "Cherry Blossom Clinic," psychic nightmare." allmusic.com

"It's wildly inventive music and, as pure sound, the Move may never have been better than they are here, as there are more ideas in each of these long, languid jams than most bands have in a career. Once again, the sheer number of ideas can be intimidating upon first listen and there may be so many that some listeners may never get past this rush of invention, but Shazam rewards repeated spins many times over." allmusic.com

Both vinyl LPs are in near mint condition while the twofer jacket is in very good condition for a product from 1972. The Jacket shows some minor ring wear, but bears no splits or tears. The first LP's psechedelic cover is by "The Fool".
