    This album is AWESOME!! I can’t understand how I had never heard about it on the last 48 years.. anyway.. last week I found a NM copy and I’m very surprised with this album and this original pressing. The sound is heavy! Well recorded, very well mixed and the mastering is perfect. I’m in love with this release!

      I have a UK 1972 gatefold press and found on Side two upon the label an sticker from the netherlands i think
      Speel nooit een stereo
      plaat met eem mono element

      but on my turntable stereo is no problem of sound and quality

      does anyboby know this press?

        Early 70s hard rock at its very best. Not surprising considering the pedigree of the here, fresh from Atomic Rooster and Quatermass. Hard, heavy and funky at times - could not recommend enough.

          Great lp, found at my local carboot years ago..together with Toefat's 1st lp..John du Cann, for a time at least, seemed to play in so many cool and/or collectable bands, although I only first his new wave hit "don't be a dummy" which came off the back of a Lee Coopers jeans TV ad.. another punk-ish connection, the back cover design always reminded me of Black Flag's "Damaged".

            I have found another very obscure original press from 1972 from Mozambique ...Purple label TPSA 7505 (IE 064 93410)...who would have thought they were jamming to this in Africa back then...pics available
