Comments: Vinyl has some light marks and hairlines but still strong. Sleeve looks fab and not for the inside issue (read on) would be VG+ externally easily! Shiny laminate, thick square spine, v minor ring on rear. V slight water damage has surface scraped on the inside of the gatefold so bottom few lines of lyric missing. The Gatefold photo itself looks really great too. V tiny moisture stain marks just on the right side by the opening, not distracting really.

Notes:

Issued in a laminated gatefold sleeve with lyrics to "The Lady Rachel" and "Song For Insane Times" within. Green harvest labels without a boxed EMI logo. Thanks and praise to: Robert Wyatt who played all drum tracks, except for B1 and B4, on which Rob Tait "did it" for a couple of tricky figures. The Soft Machine for the backing on A5 - Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper individually. David Bedford for creative assistance on instrumental, voicings and their arrangement (also for his groovy piano playing). The Session Men. Jean and Mary who had to sing in Malay - which is a fair achievement for two Scots girls. The Engineer: Peter Mew. Sean Murphy and Ian Knight. Finally, Peter Jenner, who provided a more than valuable smile and throughout, and Malcolm Jones and Roy Featherstone of EMI who said Yes.
