Erlkoenig - Original 1973 Private Pressing 6-track LP

Rare original 1973 German privately pressed 6-track LP - the sole album by Helmstedt formed progressive rock quartet.

Vinyl has custom black printed yellow labels - fully laminated picture cover.

... and for those into the machine stamped (ms) and hand etched (he) matrix information:
Side 1: Ⓟ 1973 077678-A (ms) F (he, faint) Manufactured in Germany (curved, ms)
Side 2: Ⓟ 1973 077678-B (ms) I (he, faint) Manufactured in Germany (curved, ms)

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

Vinyl is beautifully lustrous - Side 1 has a single short, light and inaudible mark - otherwise just a touch of sleeve inflicted scuffing - vinyl is in itself ghraded near mint. Side 2 label has a single or two hardly visible spindletraces - short, simple and superficial - Side 1 label is perfect.

Cover is nice - extremely close to mint centers which has hardly any laminate-only wear along vinyl outline - seams are intact - straight and without shelling... atouch of discontinued top edge wear and a slight top opening dent. Corners are pointy and hardly rubbed... except lower opening corner which has a more marginal dent... all in all very nice and graded close to near mint/excellent.
