AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original 1969 US first pressing of Johnny Almond Music Machine's debut album Patent Pending, released on Deram Records under catalogue number DES 18030. This is a scarce record that sits at a fascinating crossroads of jazz-rock, psychedelic rock, blues and early progressive music. Johnny Almond had already built a strong reputation in the British blues and jazz scene before forming the Music Machine, and Patent Pending captures that adventurous period perfectly, with saxophone, flute, keyboards and complex arrangements throughout. The album holds particular interest for progressive-rock collectors, as the personnel includes Alan White, who would later become the long-time drummer of Yes. This is the original US Deram issue, housed in the characteristic heavy American cardboard sleeve and complete with its original inner sleeve.
⸻
Sleeve (VG):
The original heavy-cardboard sleeve shows clear signs of age and previous use. There is some whitening and creasing throughout, along with two stickers on the front. A seam split has been repaired, but the sleeve remains structurally usable and the artwork still presents well overall → VG
Inner Sleeve:
Original inner sleeve included.
Vinyl (VG+):
The vinyl retains a very nice original shine and remains a solid VG+ example. There are some light superficial marks and normal signs of previous play, but nothing deep or particularly distracting. Playback is strong and enjoyable → VG+
