Diese LP ist zwar als Solo Album von Bob Markley erschienen, und die Suche nach stilistischen Veränderungen ist nicht zu überhören, aber eigentlich handelt es sich hierbei um das sechste und letzte Album der West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, denn alles Bandmitglieder sind dabei.                                                                Die experimentellen Psychedelic Pioniere brachten sehr früh ungewohnte Klänge nach L.A. und waren die erste Band, die in  Los Angeles mit einer Light-Show auftrat. Da sie in den Anfangszeiten sehr erfolgreich in der Stadt waren, spielten sogar Bands wie die Mothers Of Invention  bei ihnen im Vorprogramm. Durch gute Beziehungen zum Record Busines hatten sie anfänglich auch erstaunliche musikalische Freiheiten beim Major Label Reprise Records, fielen dann aber in Ungnade und brachten ab 1969 ihr 5. Album und diese Markley LP bei kleineren Independent Labels heraus.

Die LP kann als Near Mint eingestuft werden. Sie wurde kaum gespielt und befindet sich in sehr gutem Zustand. Es sind keine sichtbaren oder hörbaren Kratzer zu erkennen.Auf Seite 2 am Ende von Track 1 und auf Track 6 befinden sich je eine leichte sehr kleine Unebenheit, die aber nicht hörbar sind. Die sind vermutlich bei Pressung bei der entstanden, denn äußere Einwirkung ist nicht zu erkennen.

Cover ist als “Very Good Plus“ anzusehen. Links oben befinden sich 5 kleine Löcher als Cut Out, die wohl mit einer Art Fahrkartenzange erzeugt wurden. Beiden Ecken an der Einschubseite, sind leicht gestaucht. Auf der Rückseite ist der weiße Rand an der Einschubseite ein einigen Stellen etwas angegraut. Ansonsten ist das Cover noch in sehr gutem Zustand und es befindet sich sogar noch die geöffnete Versiegelungsfolie auf dem Cover.

This LP is indeed appeared as a solo album by Bob Markley, and the search for stylistic changes is obviously, but actually it is the sixth and final album of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, because it has the same line up. The experimental psychedelic pioneers brought very early unfamiliar sounds to LA and were the first band to perform in Los Angeles with a light show. Since they were very successful in the city in the early days , even bands like the Mothers Of Invention played with them as support . Through good relations with the Record Busines they had initially also amazing musical freedom on the major label Reprise Records , but then fell out of favor, so they brought their 5. album from 1969 and this Markley LP out on smaller independent labels .

The LP can be classified as Near Mint. It was barely played and is in very good condition. There are no visible or audible scratches . On page 2, at the end of track 1 and on track 6 are each a slight very small bump, but these are not audible. probable it was originated in the manufacture , because external influences can not be seen.
The Cover is to be regarded as "Very Good Plus". On top left there are 5 tiny holes as Cut Out, which were probably produced by a kind of ticket punch. Both corners on the insertion side are slightly compressed. On the back of the white border, of the insertion side a few parts are slightly touched with gray. Otherwise, the cover is still in very good condition and there is even the open sealing film on the cover
