This one has solid punchy audio on this 1971 recording great nice flat 70s pre oil crisis vinyl with no warping or other worrying faults... 

This first *ICONIC 1971 UK Vertigo* estimated sold only around 50,000 in 71  how many are left...

 not available in this format in USA and Canada! where it went gold and later platinum founding the bones of *stoner rock* Nirvanna famously cite this album as *the one* a real time piece and collectors find. growing in value and a great listen!  recorded at island studios London in early 71.
