The Incredible String Band.
The last track on Side 1 is Track 3, a Williamson composition called “Pictures In A Mirror”, which lasts an epic 10.43 minutes. It is one of the two songs on the LP, both of which are the longest songs thereon, which in my view make the album “inaccessible”, but is is by no means a bad song, and does have some very attractive features; but it goes on too long. In common with most of the Williamson epics, this song is wierd and has many varied sections, and usually these work, notably “Creation” on “Changing Horses”. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t.
A few years after I got the LP, I was able to buy a second hand copy of the English version, and this is the wholly different front cover of the sleeve:
