S/S perfect factory flat condition.
From the AA - "After Bobb Trimble’s work, this is the best 80s psych album. In fact, at least for side one I’d go out on a limb and rank it the very best co-ed San Francisco-style psych album. In the tradition of the best latter day psych, it clearly is influenced by the golden age of West Coast music, but sounds completely of its time as well. This is no simple throwback or derivative work; it’s a wholly unique and distinctive album that combines a very wide and unlikely set of influences in creative and wonderful ways. The album’s biggest criticism has come from the inclusion of a straight disco song on side two. The song is unlikely to appeal to the same audience as the garage-styled opener “Peace of Mind,” but in the context of the album, which flows from song to song, showing subtle shifts in style, it actually makes perfect sense. Similarly, neither the new wave-styled synthesizer on the title track or the long jazz-funk instrumental opening on the final song sound out of place. There seems to be no attempt at attracting any particular type of audience here: no artifice, no pandering. It’s a wonderful album. Highest among the many pleasures is the absolutely stunning title track, which benefits from a chill-inducing vocal from Kathy Bass. The long guitar solo on “Bye Bye” is also a winner, in the best tradition of Quicksilver Messenger Service or Tripsichord Music Box. This is also one of the very few albums of this style where the male and female vocals coexist without stepping on each other’s toes. If you can live with the disco tune, this is very, very highly recommended. The band is quite mysterious (no photos on the album cover) and sadly appear to have made no further recordings.

VG (very good): plays with no skips but may have noticeable surface noise especially in quieter passages. Cover may have seam/ring wear or light staining. not a bad copy, but not a great one either.
VG- (very good minus): this record has probably not been well cared for and probably plays with consistent noise. cover may have water damage, serious ring wear, or seam splitting.
G (good): this record is in bad condition. i will not list a record in this condition unless it is extremely rare.
F (fair): this record is trashed and probably would be hard to listen to. only ultra rare historical LPs would be worth dealing with here.   333 (GS 5.4.2 (333))
