 1967 

Heavy vinyl

stamped matrices and "Porky" etched into the runout.

1967!  At that time 52 years ago it was a joy to listen to - a true ear-opening experience. Here was a VERY talented young band with 'pedigree', making innovative revolutionary new sounds for a FANTASTIC resulting LP. Steve Winwood still plays now and proves his wonderful ability as a guitarist, keyboard player and singer - and this historic issue heralded his confident dexterity, as a landmark following his departure from outstanding The Spencer Davis Group.  Nice to find this very early issue in such outrageous great EX+/NM condition (vinyl), these really must be EXTREMELY few and far between - mind-blowing in every respect!

Vinyl: EX+/NM.  This record is  the best I have ever seen for this ultra rare  issue. It has a NO  hairlines , NO marks, NO traces and seems barely played, possibly unplayed. The record plays through phenomenally well without any background noise. It has a great glossy sheen to it and it is clear that it has been looked after. Now 52 years old this is a great opportunity to acquire this rarity.  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely MEGA low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! An archive upgrade for this vinyl.  

  Gatefold Sleeve: VG.  Not quite in keeping with the fantastic vinyl and it is obvious that the album has been moved around probably without ever taking the vinyl out of its housing. The  gatefold cover has storage wear to the edges and also evidence of thumb creases!!!!  A seam split to the top back opening. the colours are rich but it has been handled and is graded at VG. NO  stickers . The spine has storage wear but is fully legible.    

THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (FOR ITS VINYL) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

***This is a unique prime investment opportunity!!! Finding this classic album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is  a great and seriously collectable super album!!  You will buy into a piece of  superb prog history.*** 

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
