 Notice the GEAR part of the front cover is secured in the front sleeve, it is not removable as you may notice in some copies offered for sale.

This is an important aspect of this cover and tough to find in this condition.

The music kicks butt too!!!

I have many other Soft Machine and Canterbury titles I'll be offering up soon. Keep watching!!!

Especially keep an eye out for an upcoming Soft Machine songbook from the Third era. Photos from this book were used for the Cuneiform issue of Soft Machine's BACKWARDS!


also:

As soon as I resolve my Paypal issue, I'll begin accepting Paypal again.

Hopefully before the majority of my auctions end.

Happy New Year!!!
