Very, very hard to find progressive heavy psych/folk/blues album in the vein of Forest, Nick Drake, Trees, Mellow Candle, King Crimson etc.  A nice quality album with really strong exciting tracks. All Mandy Morton albums are extremely sought after and this one is no different, absolutely impossible to find in this great condition.

THE SUPREME VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

 IT ILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

Vinyl: EX+. A sublime vinyl with fantastic sound reproduction. Barely played and well cared for album and an upgrade for this ultra collectable title. No marks, and no hairlines, still looks gleaming and glossy. There are a some paper retraction traces visible under a strong light source.  First press matrices and mother stampers. I have played this in full and the stereo sound is still supreme and this plays with strong gusto. This will be a fantastic item  for most long time psych/blues/prog collectors! 

 Sleeve: EX. Matt and very vulnerable sleeve but this is on of the very best kept ever seen. Sits fully flat, there are just a couple of thumb edge creases. The spine is 100% legible. A nice crisp opening. Lovely edges with barely any wear at all. This is a super rare album and only the first ever I have come across as an original first press. Please have a close look at the pictures.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych folk 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 45.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise 

 

 

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

 

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!!
