Watcher Of The Skies

Stereo/Mono promo copy. This very rare single was the group's first in the U.S. It's not only dramatically edited from a 7:23 album version, but reportedly it's also re-recorded, with a completely different beginning and ending. Collector Nerd Alert: The labels don't indicate Stereo/Mono, but the trail-off numbers are different, and the mix sounds different. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Buddah Records factory sleeve. It has beautiful, Near Mint labels (see scan). The vinyl (as opposed to styrene) is somewhat scuffed-up, grading EX in appearance. I wish the audio sounded better, but the amount of surface noise lowers the audio grade to VG.
