A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE LP
This British trio released a classic self-titled album in 1970. The music on their release sounded like a more complex and progressive version of Deep Purple. The album is a mix of long and progressive tracks and shorter, catchier ones. My favourite tracks here are probably "Post War, Saturday Echo" and "Make Up Your Mind". The first one is a great, emotional and slow track stuffed with lots of excellent and progressive Hammond-playing. The latter one is basically a very catchy and poppy tune, but with a very complex and long instrumental-part in the middle with some organ-work that must have impressed even Keith Emerson. The longest track on the album is an instrumental called "Laughin' Tackle" and this one also includes a string-arrangement which gives the music a symphonic touch. The strings are also used on the shortest track on the album, the ballad "Good Lord Knows". "Gemini" and "Black Sheep of the Family" are both energetic and hyper-catchy tracks with lots of Hammond-orgies. The latter one was also later covered by Rainbow on their first album. Classic stuff.

GRADINGS
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised, as Sealed or Unplayed will be mint.
EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there will be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD + The record may have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only barely detectable crackles or pops. A slight noise at the beginning is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless. Definitely no scratches or gouges that a touch with a dry finger can feel. The cover may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED IN PROPER MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS
