Love Da Capo LP Elektra Stereo Sticker EKL-4005 Original Issue EXC Fab Vinyl.
Album is collector/audiophile grade, cover is VG/VG++. Vinyl shows only VERY LIGHT/inconsequential surface marks, common to an album of this vintage. Love's second LP, the factory STEREO sticker dates this copy as a likely first or second edition, from either late 1966 or '67. The inner sleeve is Elektra's 1960s GOLD E's design and is intact, in EXC condition. Cover shows VERY light ring wear on the front, even more faint shelf wear on the back. There's a TINY ball-point pen mark on the back cover, bottom right corner, SUPER faint and hard to read, either S294 or denoting its sale from a secondhand store at 2.94. Your guess is as good as mine. Superb Player or Display copy of this vintage Rocker.  Pictures are of actual copy, NOT stock photos, and intend to highlight what flaws there may be, NOT to hide them. All pieces sold AS IS so ask any reasonable questions prior to auctions close.
I’m selling the LP collection of a family friend. As one of the original used buyers at Amoeba San Francisco I’m well-suited to trading albums, and the quality of the vinyl condition is something I rarely saw at the buy counter there. The original owner purchased most new and only listened to them a short number of times before recording to reel-to-reel tape. Although well stored over the years, the quality of most covers is in the average to above range. In all but a few cases you will be blown away by the condition of the discs, if medium whelmed by the jackets. As a professional reseller I would place this collection at B+ overall, with the vinyl graded closer to A-/NM. Shipping may be combined on multiple orders. Please address any questions before auctions end via DM and I will describe all items to the best of my ability.
