Some words on this issue: e-Piece” (Harvest – SHVL-758) Original 1969 first UK original pressing of stunning LP. Pete Brown was elbowed out of the band and Chris Spedding took over the controls. One of the finest delicately crafted UK prog albums of all time. Really nice copy, some faint sleeve marks are visible under bright light that does not affect the play so strictly graded at VG++〜EX. Same goes for the fragile laminated gatefold jacket which has a few creases in the laminated but NO bent corners. NOT a mint or NM copy but still a very nice solid keeper one.

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
