Can you remember those far off pre-internet days, when the only way to hear the music was to physically acquire a copy of the LP?
Out of print, this had been on my wish list for years, my heart leapt when it wa reissued by the Japanese in 1978, but these limited edition high quality pressings were very expensive in the UK - outside my price range - until I stumbled across this second hand copy in Honest Jons in the Portobello Road, London - heaven!
These days of course you just download the CD reissue or the Mosaic set from some Russian site, but for me this 12" slab of cardboard and vinyl is still heaven, and I thought I'd share it with you.

ReplyDeletei agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. LPs & covers are not just media for transporting sounds & notes around, they are artifacts from the past. they are time capsules. thanks for this one & for your site. -cheers, a.v.
