LOVE s/t gorgeous original MONO garage psych lp w/insert M-

1966/USA/Elektra EKL-4001….here’s a gorgeous original Mono pressing of this highly regarded lp. The cover is in VG+ to VG++ condition, there is light ring wear on the bottom front and back, slight shelf wear, light corner wear, tiny tiny surface tear on front right at the bottom(very tiny), the cover is otherwise clean with no splits, delete, writing or other issues. The MONO vinyl is in M- condition, other than a couple of super light inaudible hairline scuffs this record is super clean and I’d doubt this would have a handful of plays. It looks gorgeous with full gloss and plays clean. I have played it from start to finish and it has nice mono fidelity! Clean labels show no spindle marks. Includes the original Elektra inner sleeve, sides have small splits, bottom has a 2” split, otherwise the inner sleeve is clean. This copy also includes an original 1967 Elektra catalogue of forthcoming releases with some pictures of The Doors, Love, Tim Buckley and Butterfield Blues Band just to name a few. The booklet is in clean condition with a tiny split starting at the bottom of a crease, hardly worth mentioning and otherwise fine! Don’t miss this gorgeous original first MONO pressing of this great lp! Please check my auctions for other rock and psych lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

///GRADING///

MINT: I consider New Unplayed or Sealed items only.

M- or Mint Minus, very clean with clean visual appearance and sound, there may be a couple of light inaudible hairline scuffs or such and will be mentioned in the listing, a Mint- record looks and plays very clean. Same for the cover. Very clean with no delete or other issues.

EXCELLENT: between VG++ and M- , still very collectable for most, visually and sonicly clean. A handful of light inaudible scuffs, or hairlines. Cover will be clean with little wear, or delete. No splits.

VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal wear, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much. Cover will have slight shelf wear, and or delete, minor split.

VG+ the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects.
