• Info: A sprawling masterpiece that has been somewhat overlooked over the years, even though Stephen Stills considers it some of the best work he has done. The short-lived Manassas enjoyed the talents of Chris Hillman & Al Perkins, who had both just left The Flying Burrito Brothers, as well as Rolling stone bassist,Bill Wyman, who guest performs on "The Love Gangster" track. The songs are thematically grouped on each record side: "The Raven" is a composite of rock and Latin sounds; "The Wilderness" mainly centers on country and bluegrass; "Consider" is largely folk and folk-rock.;  "Rock & Roll Is Here to Stay," is a rock and blues set with one of the landmarks of Manassas' short life, the epic "The Treasure."

• Mint (M): A Mint record and jacket must both be absolutely perfect in every way. For this reason the grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only assumed to be mint.
• Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record and jacket that shows no obvious signs of wear or defects.
• Excellent (EX) or (VG++): Also a nearly perfect record and jacket with a minimum of audible or visual imperfections.
• Very Good Plus (VG+): Record will show some signs of wear such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, that don't affect one's listening experience. Jackets may also have slight signs of wear. Any specific serious flaws in either the record or jacket will be noted.
• Very Good (VG): Many of the defects listed for a VG+ record or jacket will be more pronounced on a VG album. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, but will not overpower the music otherwise. 
• Good (G): A record in good condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without any repeating "skips", although it will have more severe audible surface noise and scratches than a VG record. Jackets will also have more pronounced defects than a VG cover.
