Found this in a used record store had a water damaged cover and vinyl looked like it had some scuffs, but I took it home and cleaned it up and it plays almost like a NM record. Command/ABC did an excellent job on this pressing back in 1973, and even though the cover didn't hold up, the records did. The sound quality is excellent too. -

I concur on excellent sonics and my pressing plays cleanly too. -
Not sure about this press, sounds a bit muffled but then again soft machine was always a bit noisy. Would need an original

...was there ever a better "fusion album"? my advice: try listen only to the
drums of robert wyatt: astonishing! next listen to his wonderful voice, you
can almost consider "volume one" as his first solo album. just take the
heartwarming ballad "a certain kind". then we have this great,
hendrix-alike electric organ by mike ratledge. the stoical kevin ayers on
bass, with his grandiose & ongoing dada-song "we did it again". uplifting,
thunderously powerful..! -

Despite the "cheap" package - but nice image cover by Ed Sarisbrick - these are great sounding pressings.
