Why This Record Is Special

The self-titled Eternity’s Children (1968) is a cult-favorite sunshine/psych-pop gem, cherished by collectors for its soaring harmonies, lush arrangements, and West Coast–style production.

While not widely distributed during its original run, Tower’s early pressings have become high-value rarities, especially the true 1968 US first press on Tower Records.

This is an essential piece for fans of obscure ’60s pop, harmony-driven psych, and Capitol/Tower deep-cut collectors.

First Pressing Identifiers

Your copy aligns with the authentic 1968 US first pressing, featuring:

• Catalog #: ST-5123

• Original Tower black-and-pink labels (period-correct)

• First-press stereo edition

• 1968 Capitol/Tower manufacturing codes

• Thick U.S. 60s jacket stock

• Original tracklist spacing and layout unique to early Tower runs

• No later reissue marks (modern barcodes or budget-line stickers)

Tower pressings were produced in modest numbers, making surviving OGs quite scarce today.

Album Highlights

A dreamy sunshine-pop blend with standout vocals and orchestral flourishes. Notable tracks include:

• “Mrs. Bluebird” (cult favorite)

• “Sunshine Among Us”

• “Again Tomorrow”

• “The Other Side of Me”

• “You Know I’ve Found a Way”

Lush production with jangly guitars, soft psych textures, and pristine vocal layering — a lost classic of the 1968 pop-psych era.

Collector Value

This album has grown tremendously in status among psych-pop collectors due to:

• Low original pressing numbers

• Tower Records’ status as a key ’60s cult label

• The rising popularity of obscure sunshine-pop and soft psych

• Increasing global demand for well-preserved OG Capitol/Tower releases

Perfect for collectors of:

• 1960s sunshine pop

• Psych-pop rarities

• Tower Records completists

• West Coast harmony-pop gems

We conservatively grade our records.
Record grading:

• Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way, likely never played, and still sealed.

• Near Mint (NM or M-): Nearly perfect. The record shows no obvious signs of wear and looks as if it was just opened. No visible marks or scratches.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows slight signs of use, such as light scuffs or very minor scratches, but plays without any major deterioration in sound quality.

• Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear with some surface noise, light scratches, or groove wear, but still plays through without skipping.

• Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The record plays but with significant surface noise, scratches, and wear. The cover may have visible damage or splits.

• Fair/Poor (F/P): The record may be damaged and is barely playable. Typically used only for highly collectible records.

Cover grading: 

• Mint (M): The cover is flawless, with no signs of wear. Often still sealed with no corner dings, creases, or ring wear.

• Near Mint (NM or M-): The cover looks almost new, with only the slightest signs of handling. There may be very minimal wear, but no significant flaws like writing, splits, or tears.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): The cover shows light wear, such as minor scuffing, small corner creases, or slight ring wear. No major damage, but a well-cared-for album with minor imperfections.

• Very Good (VG): Moderate wear is visible, including ring wear, light edge or corner damage, small seam splits, or slight discoloration. Still presentable but clearly used.

• Good/Good Plus (G/G+): The cover shows significant wear, such as noticeable ring wear, seam splits, heavy creasing, or writing. It may still hold together but looks heavily worn.

• Fair/Poor (F/P): The cover is heavily damaged, with major seam splits, tears, extensive writing, water damage, or severe ring wear. It may barely hold together or be incomplete.
