SOFT MACHINE     
   THIRD
BOTH VINYLS PRESSED ON ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT 1970 154gms VINYL !!!!         
WITH EX AUDIO !!!!

TIME TO HAVE SOME MORE SOFT MACHINE, WHO ARE A JAZZ FUSION, PROG ROCK, CANTERBURY SCENE BAND FORMED IN 1966 IN CANTERBURY ENGLAND. A VERY UNDERATTED BAND, AND THIS IS THEIR 3rd ALBUM IF YOU COULD NOT GUESS BY THE TITLE !!!! THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1970, AND AN AMAZING ALBUM THAT I AM SURE YOU WILL ENJOY AND IT COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND PLAYS AMAZING !!!!
THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST POINT OUT, AND THAT IS THE 1ST PRESS FROM 1970, HAD, 'COP.CON' PUBLISHER CREDITS FOR LABEL, 'B', 'C' AND 'D'. THE ONE LISTED BELOW HAS ALTERED THE PUBLISHER WITH NEW CREDITS, AND NOW HAS, 'SHROEDER MUSIC PUB' FOR THE SAME LABELS, SO IS A 2nd EDITION PRESS A LITTLE BIT LATER AND STILL IN 1970 !!!! IT IS ONLY A SLIGHT CHANGE AS EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME AS THE 1ST PRESS !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHIP AS USUAL . IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE . 
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL  1970 UK  PRESS   ::  S 66246 A1  ::  S 66246 B1  ::  S 66246 C1  ::  S 66246 D1.
ON THE ORANGE CBS LABEL :: S 66246 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E.J. DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD. ALTHOUGH SOLID, AS WITH MOST OF THESE COVERS, THEY SUFFER FROM RING WEAR, AND THIS ONE IS NO DIFFERENT, AND ALSO HAS SOME SHELF WEAR ALONG THE FULL LENGTH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND SOME BITS OF RUB ON THE SPINE EDGE, WITH A HEAVIER RUB ON THE TOP SPINE CORNER. THANK FULLY INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES, AND I THINK IT IS BEST TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS FOR A FAR BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. DUE TO THE RING WEAR AND RUB, I WILL HAVE TO GRADE  :: VG . 

VINYLS ::  THE VINYLS PLAYS WITH NO NASTY ISSUES, SO NOTHING INTRUSIVE WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW.

EACH SIDE HAS JUST ONE LONG TRACK, AND ALL I HEARD WAS JUST....

SIDE 1, A FAINT TICK A LITTLE WAY INTO TRACK, AND TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

SIDE 2, TWO FAINT TICKS BEFORE THE MIDDLE AND A FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END.

SIDE 3, PLAYS SUPERB WITH NOTHING TO MENTION.

SIDE 4, HAS TWO FAINT TICKS AND TWO LIGHT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START ON VERY QUIET INTRO. THERE IS A FAINT TICK A LITTLE FURTHER IN, AND TWO FAINTS IN THE MIDDLE AND A FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE NOTHING NASTY ON THE AUDIO SO PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED, WITH ALSO NO STATIC OR CRACKLE !!!!

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYLS LOOK VERY NICE, WITH A LOVELY SHINE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE SOME TOTALLY HARMLESS COSMETICS, SUCH AS SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A VERY FAINT AND AGAIN TOTALLY COSMETIC SCUFF LINE, ON SIDE 3, AND A VERY TINY HARD TO SEE TINY EVER SO SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK ON SIDE 2, AND HONESTLY, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE :: EX/EX- .

LABELS ::  LOVELY CONDITION, WITH JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

INNERS ::  WITH NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, AND THEY ARE NEW PLAIN WHITE INNERS, SO NOT THE ORIGINALS, AS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINALS :: EX+ .  

THIS PLAYS SUPERB, AND AS DESCRIBED. ORIGINAL COVER IS A BIT SCRUFFY BUT SOLID AND FREE FROM WRITING. AN AMAZING DOUBLE ALBUM AND IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH THE COVER THEN YOU CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU ! 

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
