Media: LP
Condition: VG-
Cover Condition: Strong VG
Label: Elektra
Reference Number : EKS-74029

Date: 1968
RARE 1968 Elektra tan label FIRST pressing complete with the original Elektra inner sleeve. "ARC" faintly etched in dead wax run-outs denotes a Allentown Record Co. Inc. pressing.
Vinyl has light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing and a few light scratches (mostly on side two) holding grade down, nothing that I can feel though. Labels are excellent. Original Elektra inner sleeve has seam splitting at center of bottom and side edges, tape wrapped around bottom and side edges where split, a crease bottom left corner, and a small rip at the left side of top edge. Cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, a ding top left corner, light ringwear/hazing, and a hint of spidering along the spine edge.
Songs: Prelude, Lawns Of Dawns, No One Is There, Ari's Song, Facing The Wind, Julius Caesar (Memento Hodie), Frozen Warnings, Evening Of Light

GRADING
Here is the standard PlanetarySounds grades records by (with help from Goldmine).
Remember, even with such a guide, grading is still subjective. Most albums, unless noted, are visually graded under bright lights. We strive to provide as much information as possible about each album. Please ask questions if unsure about anything BEFORE you bid.
Still Sealed (SS) As good as it gets. Unopened and most likely perfect all around.
Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Maybe played once. Handled with utmost care.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Covers show no more than the most minor defects. The same holds true for inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Near Mint Minus or Very Good Plus Plus (NM- or VG++) Just a hair more wear than NM, but still very close to Near Mint overall. Vinyl may have nominal sleeve or paper scuffs, cover may have hint of wear. VG++ will be just a fraction below NM- due to one additional tiny defect.
Very Good Plus (VG+) Album and cover show some light signs that it was played and otherwise handled with care of it. Record surfaces may have slight surface scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect play. If not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG) Increased scuffs or light scratches, surface noise evident upon playing. Covers and labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers, or minor seam splits.
Very Good Minus (VG-) Certain background noise, possible click or pop, flawed item. Covers heavily damaged, major splits, tears, writing, etc.
