Of Horses - Kids - And Forgotten Women - Original 1968 US Capitol label 10-track LP

Rare original 1968 US Capitol label 10-track LP - the 2nd release by influential Los Angeles based country folk-rock band - this one with more L.A. pop harmonies and tasty psychedelic-tinged orchestral arrangements than the debut album - featuring future Flying Burrito Brother and Eagles' founding member and guitarist-songwriter, Bernie Leadon, who replaced founding member, vocalist and guitarist Rick Cunha.

Vinyl has the generic black rainbow rim labels with top oval company logo, silver center printing and light blue printing along lower label perimeter - placing this as the original 1st issue.

Vinyl is housed in a plain white paper inner sleeve - ultimately in a front pasted picture cover

For those into the handwritten matrix information:
Side 1: ST-1-2868-A1 AIM
Side 2: ST-2-2868-B2 AIM
the International Association of Machinists' union triangle logo suggest that the album was pressed by Capitol Records' pressing plant located in Scranton, Pennsylvania... where the unions members worked.

Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover)
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a little far from audible sleeve inflicted wear - perfect labels - overall graded close to near mint.
Cover has a touch of wear along lower vinyl outline - otherwise just faint wear to the front and a couple of age spots to the back along with light age discolouration along spine.
Seams are tight and almost without wear, spine is easily readable, lower seam has a slight mid-dent, top seam is perfect, opening edges without rubbing.
Corners are nice - extremely marginal denting or rubbing - next to nothing - and otherwise nice... a simply extremely nice upper VG+ cover.
