Now, my posting all of those images will mean rock all to the US members of this forum as this is the US release of the album, one which they will be well accustomed to. But what you have to understand is that here in the UK we've only ever had a single sleeve version of this 1975 prog-rock gem with enlarged graphics of the original front and back engravings, and omitting the gatefold centre completely. (You can look up our pitiful issue on Discogs if you wish).
My long-time UK copy also had a warp on it which, when coupled with my "new" 1970s Rotel deck, caused the tone-arm to leap out of the grooves, so it quickly became apparent that I needed to find a new copy of one of my favourite albums.
I found this on eBay with the vendor asking £25 (free p&p) but I managed to beat him down to £20 which is still an excellent price for such a cult classic.
I am now thrilled to own this gatefold version housed in a very sturdy, stiff, textured card sleeve with all the beautiful 1845 engravings.
It's not perfect - there is light background noise between tracks and the vinyl surface looks messy, but it has been professionally cleaned and the music plays beautifully.
And if you've never heard anything by
Pavlov's Dog then I recommend that you give them a spin but, he warned - David Surkamp's vocals take those of Geddy Lee and ramp them up yet further!
Certainly a bit of an acquired taste, but one worth having.
Their second album,
'At The Sound Of The Bell' is a cracker too...
