Scarce original 1968 US Atco label Records 10-track LP - their sole album which is in the folk rock vein - a nice occasional fuzzy guitar - produced by Mountains Felix Pappalardi and featuring some additional drumming by The Remains' N.D. Smart who also collaborated with Gram Parsons.

Vinyl has the brown and purple labels with tan capital lettered company name in very large font i white mid-stripe - back pasted picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG (Cover):

Vinyl does not display the best of carbon dyings but is shiny and extremely close to flawless - we are able to find a single barely visible sleeve mark - otherwise mint. Side 1 label has a small area of slight sticker glue residue - otherwise perfect labels.

Cover has a cut corner and a saw-cut - a touch of ringwear. Seams are with some degree of wear - worn through in 1 - 1,5 cm areas against corners on lower seamand spine and in a couple of areas on upper seam as well. Spine is easily readable except for the 'S' in 'upper 'Stereo' text which is obliterated - a lighter lower opening corner dent has settled with a few wrinkles in that region - overall graded straight VG.
