A promotional CD for the massively comprehensive 'Forever Changing' boxed set of CDs. A cheeky but inspired piece of fandom was to give it the next EUKS number in the sequence.
According to the sleeve the recordings on the CD (referred to as 'this artyfact') were 'created prior to the mastering process' which, I assume, means that this disc was produced in advance of the careful retransferring of the tracks for the box set itself and may therefore not be of the same quality.
'East-West' is not listed on the packaging.

There were three attempts to record the first Butterfield album. This was the first time Elektra had tried their hand at loud electric music and the first set of recordings got as far as finished product before Paul Rothchild persuaded Jac Holzman to give him another go. Some of the tracks appeared on the What's Shakin' disc (EKL 4002) but it wasn't until this CD was released that the originals all came out. It seems that on reflection it wasn't that the session was bad, just raw.

CD of material recorded in 1969. Although Leviathan were signed to Elektra for the world apparently their proposed album wasn't considered good enough. There were three singles issued in the UK and one in the US and the material was well received by the public who heard it. An acetate exists and that gives us the planned track listing, represented by the second list above.
The material was released on a three-sided album in 2012 with a different sleeve and different order.

This is a nice compilation of Elektra tracks dating up to around 1962 (so probably out-of-copyright recordings). I think the transfers, or at least some of them, have been done from discs but the quality is generally excellent. There are a few artists who didn't record albums for Elektra but who appeared on discs such as 'Our Singing Heritage Volume One'.

This is substantially the album that had initially been allocated catalogue number EKS 74010, which became 'The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion' by the Incredible String Band. A couple of tracks are omitted (likely named 'Tell Me What It’s Like When You Get Back' and 'Anything You Find On The Floor Is Yours') and David's three tracks from the Singer Songwriter Project are added (which he recorded as David Cohen).
The band toured with David after the release of his eponymous Elektra album in 1966 and recorded this album which moved to Reprise with David but wasn't ever planned for release. It has been something of a ghost until this 2023 release.
This LP was issued in a limited run by a small Spanish label with copious notes by Mark Brend (and thanks to Mark for the information).
