IF INTERESTED PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID - THANKS
The product is a 1962 Speedy West LP titled "Guitar Spectacular" with its original Capitol sleeve. 
This first pressing record features music by Guitar Spectacular with piano and electric guitar instrumentation. 
The 33 RPM vinyl LP comes in a cardboard sleeve and is in stereo format, making it a valuable addition to any music collector's library. 
The record is in English language and represents the rock and soundtracks & musicals genres from the 1960s era in the United States.
Guitar Spectacular is the final official solo studio album by legendary American pedal steel guitarist Speedy West, originally released in 1962 by Capitol Records (Catalog No. ST-1835).
The Album Overview
The Artist: Speedy West was a pioneer of the pedal steel guitar and the first to introduce it to country-western music. 
He is highly regarded for his lightning-fast fingerwork and dynamic stylings.
The Music: The LP features a dozen original instrumental tracks showcasing the versatility of his 24-string console guitar. It ranges from fast-paced Western swing to slow, atmospheric mood pieces.
The Band: West is backed by elite studio musicians. 
The lineup includes Billy Strange (electric guitar), Roy Lanham (rhythm guitar), Red Wootten (bass), Earl Palmer (drums), and Billy Liebert (piano/accordion).
The Pressing Flaw: The album is famously known among vinyl collectors for a major manufacturing glitch where side one's audio tracks were accidentally pressed onto both sides of the original vinyl run.
The Original Capitol Sleeve
An "original Capitol sleeve" refers to the specific paper inner sleeve packaged inside the cardboard jacket by Capitol Records during the early 1960s.
The Style: In 1962, Capitol used full-color, glossy promotional inner sleeves.
The Content: These sleeves typically showcased tiny album cover thumbnails of other popular Capitol artists from that exact era (such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, or The Beach Boys) to encourage buyers to purchase more records.
Collector Value: Finding an original copy of Guitar Spectacular with its authentic, period-correct promotional Capitol inner sleeve intact significantly increases its value to music historians and vintage vinyl collectors.
