The gatefold cover is in solid VG++ condition, t is very light spotty storage wear on the black front and light soiling on the white back, no splits, delete, or other issues. The vinyl is in very strong VG++ condition! T is a bit of mild light storage staining, and a handful of very light inaudible hairlines. The deep groove record plays clean with little noise and excellent fidelity! The labels are clean and one label has a light spindle mark. Probably only played a couple of times if that! A sweet and very rare original Canadian pressing! Please check my auctions for other rock, and psych lp’s, good luck and thanks for looking! Their sound was a strange mix of blues and jazz, channeled through psychedelia and some avant-garde sensibilities, and overall extremely difficult to classify. Despite the latter shortcoming, however, audiences liked the outfit billed as Pete Brown & His Batterered Ornaments. The bookings were plentiful and the work was not only starting to pay decently, but they soon had representation by Blackhill Management, which, as they discovered, had entre to EMI Records ' newest imprint, Harvest Records . This was all happening in late 1968 and early 1969, when t was still a thriving underground music scene in England , and Brown and company fit right into the zeitgeist.
