I DO NOT stand to benefit. I have donated countless hours to this project. So now it it your turn to benefit.
I have graded more than 3,000 LPs for this struggling Community Library, and this is in the Top 6.
FWIW + YMMV.

high fidelity sound. That is the magic of advertising over ? Well I don't really know what.

I have this record already
I have had that LP for years, love the music. I didn't know it was rare.
This is the first stereo copy I have seen. Not that I am Michael Fremer, of course. Many of the "Recommended LP List" items I have run across have been the mono versions. Either because they were cheaper or people thought they could not hear the difference.
The recent donation this item came from had several RCA LPs such as Dick Shory's "Supercussion" and "Ga'ité Parisienne" and the Heifetz Munch BSO Mendelssohn, that are in the mono release. So they are one dollar records at best, and not $20 or more.
The Garcia Fantastica in now bid in at $33.33 and it has had 240 page views and 18 Watchers are on it, so, I am confident it will hit $50, and hopeful that it will go for more.

Checking popsike, it looks like it sells for an average price of $48, with better condition copies going for more, of course. Yours could easily fetch over $50 imo.
As was explained in the museum exhibit, this was a genre inspired by the early U.S. space program that began in 1958 and culminated in the moon landing in 1969. The music was often interesting, but for me it's the cover art of these LPs that is truly remarkable, and this one is a classic.
The best ones (like this one) seem to sell for real money, though I've seen lesser ones in the dollar bins.
He was a prodigy at arrangement and orchestration who first had an arrangement played by a symphony orchestra when he was 11.
He studied with Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
He filled in for an ill radio-show conductor and mightily impressed the director, an actor named Ronald Reagan. That led to much Hollywood work.
He worked on projects for Henry Mancini and Charlie Chapin, and worked on four Louis Armstrong albums including Porgy & Bess.
He did lots of work for film and television before abandoning his career to work for world peace, in the context of the Baha'i faith.
John Atkinson relied upon Garcia's arrangement and orchestration handbook when he was a working musician.

Maybe not quite in the same league as Henry Mancini or Lalo Schifrin, but part of that golden age. I discovered his Fantastica album at the museum exhibit I mentioned. Great stuff, no question.
That album cover was part of a great exhibit at the Museum at Bethel Woods, NY a few year back of covers with space-related themes. The orginal Woodstock festival took place on the grounds there, which today include a performance venue similar to and perhaps even nicer than Tanglewood. I saw Joe Cocker perform there in one of his last concerts, among others. The museum is devoted to the Woodstock festival and era. A great place to visit.
And a great album cover, obviously.
The library I am supporting is perhaps the most "minority-majority" public library in Rhode Island, yet it has to shut down several days in the summer, because there is no air conditioning.
Yet, the politicians of Rhode Island debate whether to give the monopoly-profits-reaping owners of the Red Sox $120 million, slowly, or, all at once.
Of course, we all know what the shortest verse in the Bible is:
"Jesus wept."
Somebody, please throw in a sucker bid that you need not raise, we need to get on the radar screens.
ATB,
John
