THIS LP WAS PRIVATELY PRESSED IN 1973 AFTER THE NOTTINGHAM FESTIVAL AND FEATURES SOME SERIOUSLY RARE PROG ROCK BANDS!!!! IT ALSO BOOKS MASSIVELY AND WITH VERY GOOD REASON!!!! IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND UNLIKE MOST RARE PRIVATE PRESSINGS THE MUSIC IS TOP QUALITY ON THIS LP WITH SOME STUNNING PROG ROCK!!!! THIS LP WAS ONLY PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED) AND IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE!!!! THIS REALLY IS A SERIOUSLY RARE LP!!!! THIS IS THE 1973 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS 'TEXTURED' NOTTINGHAM FESTIVAL LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS LAMINATED COVER!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A SERIOUSLY RARE PRIVATE PRESSING!!!! This is the ORIGINAL UK 1st pressing from 1973 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The Cat. No is FEST 002 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Nottingham Festival label (see picture) and is a 1973 Stereo 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! There is also a strange sticker on one side of the labels with an odd 'symbol' on it. Perhaps original from new? I dont actually know - and nor do I know what the symbol actually symbolises. Either way - it is there and I didnt want to try and remove it as it would no doubt cause severe damage to the label. The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, 1 MEGA light hairline, 2 or 3 MEGA light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and only some VERY slight crackle on the occassional gap, and run on grooves - NOT in the music!!!! There is NO groovewear, NO distortion, and NO nasty 'greying' of the grooves!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL, only a VERY few light creases (Cover is VERY flat looking), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and barely ANY yellowing AT ALL!!!! The cover must grade Excellent (Minus)!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
