Description
LOVE Forever Changes 1st Pressing ELEKTRA EKS-74013 released in 1967 on tan Elektra labels, includes Elektra inner sleeve.
Psychedelic masterpiece by Arthur Lee and LOVE. True 1st edition pressed at the Allentown Pressing Plant in Allentown Pennsylvania as indicated by the (AL) etched in the runouts.
The following statement concerning this title is from The Discogs website:
First pressings info: It is hard to find a copy that plays without excessive surface noise. This is not necessarily because the vinyl is of poor quality, but because the recording itself had to be mastered very softly (due to its length, dynamic range and stereo separation.)
Elektra had this title pressed in 1967 by three different plants: Allentown (AL), Columbia, Terre Haute (CTH) and Monarch (MON). Each plant was sent a different master lacquer to cut from (rather than a copy of the mastertape which was more common in those days), thus ensuring that all pressings had similar high sound quality.
VINYL in VG condition overall. Side 1 tracks 1-3 have some soft repeating clicks with light background crackle (more G+). Tracks 4-5 are VG/VG+.
Side 2 is strong VG with crackle and occasional pop, very nice!
COVER in VG condition with staining/yellowing especially on bottom left hand side of front cover, creasing along edges and corners, faint initials in marker visible on front cover, corner bumps, rubbing/yellowing along seams, spine text faint from rubbing.
INNER SLEEVE in VG with yellowing, creasing.
Notes
Gold labels with stereo printed on both sides of labels."AL" and "ARC" in matrix means a pressing from Allentown Record Corp. of Allentown, PA.
