Emitt Rhodes 
Vintage Vinyl Box Set 1967 -  1973
This is pretty much  Emitt's  entire output from  1967 - 1973 I did not purchase his last album Rainbow Ends Cuz  The Magic Was Over ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. An American Dream - 1969 Cover & Vinyl  VG++ Original Brown A&M Label & Inner Sleeve Can hear some lite surface noise as you drop the needle on each side And  Plays Great



2. Self Titled - 1970 Gatefold Cover VG++ Vinyl VG++ Side 1  - Plays Near Mint 
Side 2 - VG+ 1/2 Side 2  Starts out fine  but  about at the 2 minute mark I start to hear some surface noise  that continues thru the rest of the 1st song
 and  thru the 2nd song
 and  then pretty much disappears Back to no surface noise or very faint at the least  So  the rest of the album is fine
The issue with the 2 songs on  side 2  is the weakest link in this  vintage box set  


3. Mirror - 1971 The cover pictured in photo #1 is not the cover  I am selling
That one has black magic marker on the spine  and
I did not have time to reshoot the photos yet  as  A Hurricane  was heading for us in  florida
The Cover you are getting is photo # 6-7  Gatefold Cover VG  shows some wear & Has A Small Drill Hole Vinyl Plays VG or VG+

Lyrics printed inside  gatefold cover
I also hear some faint surface noise occasionally   even though the vinyl looks beautiful


4. Farewell To Paradise - 1973 Gatefold Cover Has Some Lite Shelfwear Vinyl VG+   Includes Separate Lyric Sheet I can see a couple of my finger prints in the trail off wax Sorry bout that Probably can be cleaned off  But I am not messing with it
Yes you do hear some surface noise in quiet parts  But does effect the enjoyment of listening to album Plays with no pops or snaps



5. Merry- Go-Round - 1967 - 1968 Cover Is Still In Original Shrink Wrap w/original A & M Inner sleeve With 2 Hard To See Tiny Drill Holes
Cover & Vinyl Strong VG +++ to Near Mint Original Brown A&M Label This pressing is on very thick vinyl for it's time Probably 140 Gram
Also Comes With Two Original A&M Vinyl 45 RPM Singles
1. Live b/w Time Will Show The Wiser
2. You're A Very Lovely Woman b/w Where Have You Been All My Life
I have never played these 45 rpm singles & Have No Memory How I Got Them They Look Unplayed

Spirit Of Rock - Various Artists
Includes one song From Emitt 1. Tame the lion The other artists and songs are pretty eclectic type from the artists listed This is also a import album in Near Mint Condition

On June 25th, 2019 The New York Times listed  Emitt Rhodes  among hundreds of artists whose Original Master recorded material was reportedly destroyed  in the  2008  Universal Fire? Do your own research



I am the original owner  and  have had these since they originally were released
To me they all still play in excellent shape  You will hear some  FAINT SURFACE NOISE here and there.
I will truely miss these as I am not much younger than  Emitt   So I can't take them with  me
As with all my  Emitt albums  I always had to boost my treble and bass  as at least the 2 albums from 1970 & 1971 were recorded on a 4 track recorder In his garage studio
They always sounded  super  once I boosted my settings
Sorry you had to leave us  Emitt  Seems like all my favorites have been dying the last 4 years
I remember hearing  Fresh As A Daisy  back in 1970  and  thought it was off  McCartney's 
Ram Album
