Description

Original 1974 press on El Saturn Records, Sun Ra And His Intergalactic Research Arkestra*  "The Invisible Shield".  

The LP is a solid Goldmine VG with a short click halfway through trk 1, with light background crackle audible in quiet passages, drowned out in louder ones.  

A short two to three rotation click on side 2, trk one, about halfway through—some pops and crackling as well. 

So, both sides have light crackling, random low pops, and short clicks on the first tracks, but nothing that overpowers the music.

Overall glossy, with the usual light paper scuffs and some hazing.  Plays through nicely on my player with no skips. 

The original cover, designed by Leroy Butler, is also in VG condition. 

There's chipping on the seams, some discoloration near the spine and two light water marks on the front.

 *Any vinyl I sell is from my personal collection and carefully play-tested before listing. I try to be a strict grader, but I recognize how subjective record grading can be. So, if you purchase a record from me and are unhappy, just let me know and we can work out a return. 

Thanks for looking.
