^^ I only have one album from that article.
Space Hymns by Ramases  with the unfolding cover.
Another album I have with an unfolding cover is Pathfinder by Beggars Opera but I don't know how rare it is.

The self-titled album by TOUCH (1968) is a good one - I found that LP a couple of years ago.  I didn't even know what it was, but it looked like some obscure early prog album, so I took a risk and bought it.   Turned out to be quite a find.  It's not even on a name-brand label, it was just a crazy labor of love project that didn't go anywhere - mainly because the music was too complex to take on the road and publicize.

^^ It's always good to stumble onto something like that and taking a chance.
I have an album that I can't trace because all the writing is in German. 
The band is called Panther and that's all I can figure out.

If Prog related counts, then I submit Helmut Koellen's "You Won't See Me" lp.

I have origional Vertigo Space Hymns.  Gots Glass Coffin die-cut also.
Rarest on Vertigo is supposed to be Dr Z.
Ben is pretty rare also.


Touch was put out on a common label.

On Discogs right now Space Hymns in top condition is over $500 (US). Of course the price goes down in relation to the condition.

Certain copies of Dr. Z are over $2000.
Sperrmull is a great album. I just listened to a couple of days ago.

I couldn't remember what the label was, but PA says the original issue was

LP Coliseum/London #DS51004 (1968)

I guess London is a fairly well known label (I think some early Stones albums came out on that label? It's kind of a blue/black design IIRC), but Coliseum is new to me.

My Touch lp is the US on Colosseum distributed by London.   This is the simple style of gimmix cover  that usually doesn't  get much damage - but try to find the much more common third Hawkwind interlocking cover in  good shape!
That's an example of a non-rare lp that all the same is difficult to snag in decent nick.
Another is Quicksilver Messanger Service -same. That cheap all-black over without ringwear - impossible!

Is that Panta Rhei lp the hungarian band or the Swedish?
I have the Hungarian.

Its the Uppsalla band,  Panta Rei that is the rare one.
