NOTE: Blogspot has recently changed the default when you click on blogspot-hosted images so that they open in a viewer that doesn't easily allow for zooming in on oversized images, at least on my machine/browser. This kind of defeats the purpose of these posts. The easy way around that is to right click (control click on a mac) and choose open link in new browser or new tab in the drop down menu that appears.

self-titled LP originally released in 1969 by American Heritage Records (Boise, Idaho). I think these are actually pictures of a re-release of the original, but I'm not sure when this pressing was released.
