Ptooff - 1983 UK Psycho label 8-track LP

Scarce 1983 Psycho label 98-track LP reissue of British underground/psychedelic rock combos debut album originally released in 1968 on their own Underground Impresarios label.

Musically the essence of freaky psychedelia - not without leanings towards Mothers Of Invention & Edgar Broughton Band or early Beefheart bluesish absurd 60'ies punk.

Vinyl has the generic orange company design labels.

Vinyl is presented in large fold out six-panel fold-out part-comic poster cover with extensive notes, including a review by John Peel: "There is little that is not good, much that is excellent and the occasional flash of brilliance".

Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a few light and inaudible surface marks combined with superlight.
Labels has less than a handfull slightly diffuse spindletraces - otherwise mint. Vinyl is overall graded excellent.
Poster picture sleeve has a touch of edge and corners rubbing - far from alarming - overall graded near mint.
