You mean this listing?:

Freak Emporium - Buy Music - Rock, Psychedelic, Progressive and ...
Lloyd Langton Group - Like An Arrow...(Through The Heart). .... A must  
have LP, 180gr german pressing, heavy single rough cover, textured  
inner sleeve ...


Looking at the cached version reveals that The Like an Arrow listing  
actually refers to a CD reissue:

Lloyd Langton Group - Like An Arrow...(Through The Heart).

Re-issue of late 1980s album from original Hawkwind lead guitarist  
HuwLloyd Langton's band. Great space rock lead guitar, over heavy  
riffing reminiscent of Hawkwind (of course) but also ZZ Top at their  
best. Tracks include "Strange Times", "No Man's Land" and nine others..
CD, £9.00.


Alas, the "must have LP, 180gr german pressing, heavy single rough  
cover, textured inner sleeve" comes from this listing:

Kostas Tournas - Aperranta Chorafia

After the split of Poll, Kostas Tournas went on to record a great  
progressive-psychedelic concept solo album. A major progressive folk- 
rock opus with no distinction into separate tracks; it's a  
autobiographic concept album. Tournas wrote and arranged it for a  
large orchestra -something unbelievable, speaking for Greece back in  
the early 70's- and a rock group (RUTH). He provided the vocals and  
the guitars by himself. A must have LP, 180gr german pressing, heavy  
single rough cover, textured inner sleeve (greek), poster, 2 pages  
insert (30x50) with lyrics/info in English.
LP, £12.50.


Disappointing, I know... :-(

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Paul.
