LOVE - FOUR SAIL LP EKS74049 (Elektra, US, 1969-70)
Original 1st U.S. West Coast Monarch Pressing.  'RL' cut (Robert Ludwig) .

Large 'E' red labels.  With original Elektra inner.  Stereo


Condition (I Grade NM / EX / VG+ / VG / VG- / G / F)



Sleeve - VG+ Despite a corner cut, a bumped corner and some creasing to the edges, the cover looks incredibly fresh.  No ringwear discernable, and no writing.  Spine has faded somewhat, and there's some minor abrasions by/near the rubric.

This copy also has the original black printed U.S. Elektra inner - it has some creases and one side is split.  The record is now stored in a seperate polylined sleeve, but it's a nice addition.
 
Vinyl - VG+ A fine copy that hasn't seen too much play and has been handled carefully when it has.   Great lustre, with only the most minor light scratches to both sides.  There is some impressions on the edges which seem to be the result of the record being kept in its sleeve for a long period of time, but these don't affect play.  Play is great, throughout - with barely any surface noise and only a few ticks (there's a couple in the band between Robert Montgomery and at the very beginning Nothing).  These are pretty inconsequential, to be frank. 

All in all, a more than acceptable copy visually and an excellent player.  High end collectors won't like the corner cut, but if you like this album and want to listen to it and enjoy it, this is as good a copy as any.  Whilst I prefer the different mixes of this material that have surfaced, this was my go-to vinyl copy and I never felt the need to upgrade it, so...
