This is a first pressing. The record is in excellent condition, there are absolutely no scuffs or scratches. Sound was flawless in play testing.
The outer sleeve shows limited ring wear at top and bottom (see photos).  Includes lyrics insert which has Hebrew, Arabic & Persian translation of "Blues for Allah". Includes original poly-lined inner sleeve with label window.
This album is from my personal collection; I bought it new in 1975. It was always stored vertically and well cared for. It was only played with a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Ortofon cartridges.
Tracklist -- "Help on the Way" "Slipknot!" (instrumental) "Franklin's Tower" "King Solomon's Marbles" (instrumental) "Stronger than Dirt or Milkin' the Turkey" (instrumental) "The Music Never Stopped" "Crazy Fingers" "Sage & Spirit" (instrumental) "Blues for Allah" "Sand Castles & Glass Camels" (instrumental) "Unusual Occurrences in the Desert"
