    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 members 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 remember 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
