WITH EX BLUES ROCK AUDIO !!!!
TIME FOR ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BANDS OF THE 1970's !!!! THEY WERE FORMED IN 1969, IN CALIFORNIA, BY JEFFERSON AIRPLANE MEMBERS, JORMA KAUKONEN, AND JACK CASADY, AS A SIDE PROJECT, WHILE GRACE SLICK WAS RECOVERING FROM THROAT SURGERY. THEY WENT ON TO MAKE ANOTHER SEVEN ALBUMS IN THE 1970's, AND THIS IS THEIR 2nd RELEASED ON 2nd JUNE 1971. THEY REALLY HAVE A UNIQUE SOUND, BUT YOU CAN STILL HEAR SOME BITS OF JEFFERSON AIRPLANE !!!! ANOTHER CLASSIC FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 U.S.A PRESS  ::  APRS-8249 -3S A 26 (ARTISAN RECORDS LOGO)  ::  APRS-8250 -30S A I D (ARTISAN RECORDS LOGO)   .
ON THE ORANGE RCA LABEL  ::  LSP-4550 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL EARLIEST 1ST PRESS, PRINTED IN THE, U.S, AND MADE FROM THICKER AND HEAVIER CARD, WITH LOVELY SPINE AND EDGES, WITH A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND A SMALL SEAM SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, ON THE BACK, ON THE OPENING EDGE SIDE, WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS, HONESTLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD VERY NICE, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE  ::  EX/EX- . BUT NEARER TO EX, RATHER THAN EX- !!!!

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO JUMPS, SKIPS, STICKS, CRACKLE OR STATIC, AND NO CLICKS OR POPS, JUST SOME VERY FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1 !!!!

VISUALLY JUST SOME VERY FAINT  COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES,AND SOME SMALL FAINT COSMETIC HAIRLINES SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HAS A LOVELY SHINE, SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AS THERE ARE SOME FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 2 AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE, SO....

TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG+/EX- .

ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1 (EXCEPT TRACK 2), AND ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A BEAUTIFUL :: EX+ .  

LABELS  ::  BEAUTIFUL CONDITION :: EX+ .

ORIGINAL "LOVE MAURICE" POSTCARD :: IN A LOVELY CONDITION, NO TEARS OR WRITING, JUST TWO SURFACE CREASE LINES ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE :: EX- .

ORIGINAL PSYCHEDELIC CUSTOM INNER ::  WITH NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS, AND AGAIN IN GREAT CONDITION, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: EX- .

IN ALL ROUND LOVELY CONDITION, AND FULLY COMPLETE !!!! THERE ARE SOME COSMETICS, BUT THE AUDIO IS SUPERB !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
