The cover has significant ringwear (see photos), but this seems to be the result of the manufacture of the cover, as all examples of this album seem to be blessed with the same affliction. The spine has cracks, but is still legible. There are no splits or tears. The labels are excellent and the vinyl gives a truly superb sound. Only hairline marks, which do not affect the sound, stops the vinyl from being graded as excellent.

Wow, this is such a great album. Brian Auger formed Oblivion Express, following his earlier bands ‘Steampacket’ and ‘The Trinity’ both with Julie Driscoll. This first album by Oblivion express was recorded late 1970 and released on RCA in 1971 and features Jimmy Mullen on electric guitar, Robbie McIntosh on drums and Barry Dean on bass. Pride of place though, goes to Brian himself with some of the most outstanding Hammond organ playing you will hear. Probably the best Prog Rock/Jazz Fusion ever produced with some scintillating jazz guitar by Mullen. Fantastic album, highly recommended.
