· COMMENTS / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: AMAZING, RARE AND BIZARRE PRIVATE PROG-PSYCH/FOLK/AOR WITH A SPACE ALIEN THEME! Ethereal concept album about alien abduction and space travel by obscure band from Houston, based on the infamous Zeta Reticuli event – which some claim really happened!

Here’s a little history:

In 1961, Betty and Barney Hill, a couple from New Hampshire, claimed to be abducted by aliens on their way home from vacation. Under hypnosis, the couple “recalled” being captured and studied by aliens with pear-shaped heads and large wrap-around eyes. Betty was able to produce a “star map”, which a school teacher later analyzed and found to “match” the Zeta Reticuli system. Although the star map and other related information provided by the Hills has been discredited under scrutiny by scientists (including Carl Sagan), this hasn’t stopped an almost cult-like following of this incident - spurring all sorts of theories and cosmologies, many purporting that aliens from Zeta Reticuli are prevalent on Earth. Some claim that several of these alien species exist, some claim to have had contact with them!

So given the history, you can just imagine where this LP is coming from. Filled with spacy effects, themes and lyrics; with synth, harpsichord, ethereal vocals, bizarre narration, misc. percussion, some light fuzz and more! Band members are Jerrel Elliott, Clark Walter, Gerald Bennett, Roy Prince and Mersha Elliott. Very cool self-produced all-original tunes by Jerrel Elliott, released on his very-own label. Gorgeous cover with full lyrics on back. AUTOGRAPHED.

AN “OUT OF THIS WORLD” GEM – DON’T MISS OUT!

LP GRADING GUIDELINES

NOTE: All LPs are professionally cleaned using the VPI HW-17 RECORD CLEANING SYSTEM and carefully inspected under a grading lamp with 120-watt bulb.

Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description
Please note: I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
Flaws for ALL covers graded below VG+ are noted in the description.
I rarely use grades below VG, and all vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, VG++) are used, as applicable.
MINT: Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless.
NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes.
NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few hairlines, minor surface scuffs and/or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scratches (inaudible or causing unobtrusive soft clicks, noted as applicable in the description) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect only slight surface noise in spots. Cover has slight general wear and/or aging, OR minimal wear/aging and a couple of minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description).
VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still glossy, possibly with slight graying; has a few or some light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairlines, possibly a few small light scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots.
VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl typically glossy with slight or some graying; generally has all of the flaws noted in the VG grade to a greater degree (hairlines, light scuffs, surface marks, small light scratches, sleeve marks). Expect slight or some surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.
G (Good) - Vinyl typically still glossy with some graying; generally has some scuffs, surface marks and light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairlines. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description).
