I can't really tell whether it's pale or dark.  It just looks pink to me, not 
really light nor dark.  Problem is, I have nothing to compare it with.

Unfortunately, the one I mentioned is the only Elvis LP I have from that era.
I wonder if you'd have a handle on the value of these two Beach Boys LPs?
 "All Summer Long"          Capitol  T 2110
 "The Beach Boys Today"     Capitol  T 2269
I heard that these could be worth hundreds but I don't really know.  Both are 
probably VG.
