They met local entrepreneur Alan Bowley who'd recently converted a derelict house into a recording studio. They performed at a few local gigs, and as their playing got tighter, decided to go into SIS Studios, Northampton, with engineer Alan Bowley, to record an album. The six tracks, written and arranged by the band were recorded over a weekend in 1972 and consist of melodic progressive rock laced with lots of fuzzy guitar riffs. Only a handful of copies were pressed,. I have read the various variations of how the album was first presented and released, this is not a GATEFOLD cover it is just a normal album cover type with slightly textured finish, but has the booklet

CONDITION: see scan/s = the Vinyl is at least Excellent, we will not play test it and we have not attempted to clean it, this is is visual only, it looks beautiful and shimmers, on the play off grooves evidence that has been played only a few times, spoke hole only light rubbing on B side indicating probably that A side was played more than B side, LABELS are as back then NO writing or stickers, flat recordALBUM RECORD COVER on the top edge at the front is a JAGGED tear the whole length it is all there at the tear with 4 pieces of the tear concertinaed/crinkled, we were tempted to try a repair but decided to leave it as it was, we think the tear was due to the booklet being in the cover, the front and rear are photos attached to the cover and are lightly textured, the bottom spine at the right end small wear/a little split around 1" and left corner rubbed with a little splitting, the spine in centre tiny rub area, on the rear at right edge 3 vague age spots and there are 3 tiny and one small vague age marks hard to see at first glance
