    If anyone has a copy of just the 1st LP (Side 1/4), Please DM me. Mine is cracked and I'm looking to replace it.

      My copy has Side A on LP1 and duplicated on LP2, taking the place of Side B. Label is for Side B.

        For a 50 year old copy that was likely abused by some OG Eugene, Oregon stoners, mine's in great shape. This is the sound of astro-hippies leaving a decimated planet Earth behind. Or Fun House era Stooges with electronic boops n beeps if they drafted Lemmy on bass after Dave Alexander melted down.

          I buying this when it was released.Actually met someone that had a stereo setup in his Mom's basement.On Acid I actually did NOT enjoy this release.( in 1973 I was 17/18).Bought a super clean USA copy today for $25....50 years later...sounded good....not their best( well it IS a live release..hard to match The Allman Brother's Live at the Fillmore)....my favorite is the 2ND LP " IN SEARCH OF SPACE"

            An all-out monumental audio assault of stoner-space-prog rock, heavy metal, hippy ideals & probably too much acid. Its loud, chaotic, pretentious & gloriously amazing (and that’s just the cover)! The music goes beyond.
            THE space rock opus magnum.
