Tracklisting & More Information

An interesting and essential blend of progressive Jazz Rock that managed to avoid the symphonic sounds of their contemporaries. this is the first of just two album releases by the band, both of which are now quite rightly very collectable indeed.

Condition
The sleeve looks identical to the UK release, and non-laminated was prone to all sorts of wear, and this one is typical. This example is in a stunning condition, with some edge & corner scuffing, a little light ringwear on the back and one small spot of paper loss, easily reaching an Excellent grade.

For something coming from South Africa, the vinyl remains in a spectacular condition. There are just a couple of light surface hairline which are cosmetic but that is all, and very little sign of play. I doubt very much that you could find better vinyl than this.

A nice copy of one of the most sought after 'swirl' releases, and first South African pressing we have seen.
