The front and back of the cover are VG+ with a minor bit of laminate lifting, the spine is perfectly legible, with minor creasing. The labels are excellent and the vinyl has a great deep rich sound, although there is some background crackle at times.

This was Curved Air’s first album and is an absolute classic and is a timeless piece of music with nothing really to compare to. It has powerful vocals from Sonja Kristina, great electric guitar from Robert Martin and any band with a drummer called Florian Pilkington-Miksa has got to be worth listening to (he’s actually an excellent drummer). On top of these three, there are two more special talents, with Francis Monkman (keyboards) and Darryl Way (electric violin) who take the band in many unexpected directions, from heavy rock, folk rock all the way to Vivaldi (way before Nigel Kennedy picked up a bow). The combination of these five great musicians delivers a brilliant album from start to finish.
