 MEGA RARE PROGRESSIVE ALBUM IN AWESOME CONDITION

Extremely hard to find prog album. Absolutely very scarce these days  as most have been bought up now. I hadn't seen one for over five years before this one turned up!! 

Vinyl: VG++ . They don't come around in this kind of condition very often. This vinyl has only been moderately played.  A first press proper! A couple of hairlines but these do not cause any problem. Under a strong light there are paper retraction traces which most vinyls do have. Strong stereo separation with great audio replay. Some spindle traces are visible on each label side, commensurate with moderate play. All in all a well above average vinyl with a nice glossy sheen. NO jumps, NO skips, NO sticks etc.

Sleeve: VG+ to EX.  A very well kept  sleeve without any damage bar the spine where a very small area about 1 cm has worn through. The proper first press sleeve with the original printed inner which has two side seam splits covered with tape. A couple of small creases. The pictures tell all. There is nothing untoward like writing or stains. A great sleeve.

This is a great 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. Please note that after a spate of, what shall I call it, disappearances of my records in Russia and Italy I will only send records out fully insured and tracked. Please wait for my invoice after winning. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me. All postage prices are the actual Royal Mail rates.

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 bid lists 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!!
