- ORIGINAL *MONO* November 1966 first pressing vinyl collectible on the highly collectible GOLD Elektra label ...from 57 years ago ... hard to find a better copy...there is hardly ANY wear detectable in the extremely wear prone outer black border...most all copies show wear, this '66 first press is a prime example of the original artifact still in sensations

THIS 1966 PRESSING REMAINS THE REAL DEAL
..................................................................................................
- Da Capo is brilliant in its own right, a dazzling kaleidoscopic trip through stoned 1966 Los Angeles, a practically perfect pop record.
Kick-starting with the carnival jingle-jangle of “Stephanie Knows Who,” Love lead singer, Arthur Lee hollers and wails a love poem to a girl named Stephanie, backed by church organs, flailing electric guitar licks, and rat-tat-tat drums. Listening to the song, its not hard to see why Jim Morrison called Love his favorite Los Angeles band, as The Lizard King clearly swiped Lee’s emphatic grunts and “c’mon” chants.
“Orange Skies” the album’s lone Bryan Maclean track, settles into a mellow psychedelic vibe, as the simply worded love song tosses out halcyon images like orange skies, cotton candy, carnivals and nightingales. It might be all hippy-dippy nonsense, but if you use your imagination, you can be instantly transported to Topanga Canyon in 1966, visualizing Maclean reclining back on a wood-grain balcony, trying not to wrinkle the paisley shirt he was inevitably rocking, staring into a blinding late afternoon sun and smoking what Ghost would call a baseball spliff.
“Que Vida,” the album’s third track marks a stark departure from the pleasant vibe of the first two songs, flashing the morbid undertones that Lee further explored on Forever Changes. While the songs honeyed electric guitars and velvet drums conjure nothing but pleasant vibes, the lyrics are a different story, fraught with indecision, and melancholic uncertainty. From there, the album darts suddenly into the frenetic 2 minute jam “Seven & Seven Is,” a ripping garage punk number with freak-out lyrics that literally climaxes and explodes...
One of the main reasons why the album gets less attention than Forever Changes is the half-finished nature of the songs, reflecting the mere five days that the band recorded the album in (or how much acid they were on). While the melodies are all fully-formed, the lyrical content seems like pencil sketchings of ideas to be expanded on at a later date. “The Castle,” named after the band’s Los Feliz Residence, is under 50 words and doesn’t make all that much sense. Meanwhile, the penultimate song, “She Comes in Colors” seems overly simplistic by today’s standards, but taken as a pure love song, not many come more gorgeous, all willowy flutes, sunshine organs and Lee’s tear drop voice that adds an emotional heft to the number. If you’ve ever heard “She’s a Rainbow” from The Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties Request, you’ll notice its close and admittedly intentional similarity.
The album ends with a sprawling 19-minute jam, “Revelation” with its loose improvised riffing, searing harmonica solos and the hints of the power of Love’s dynamic stage show. The album amply displays why Love have been called the quintessential Los Angeles band, capturing the city’s uneasy balance of lobotomized sunshine simplicity and its noir underbelly. One of the finest records of the 60s, Da Capo might have its rough-edges but it remains a brilliant early work from Arthur Lee, one of America’s greatest songwriters

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: near M- depite most original 1966 MONO pressings show signs of extreme wear ... here's about as as good as one could ever hope for 57 light years past ... overall minimal well handled signs - there is NOT the wear always found in the black frame of front cover and certainly NOT anywhere on white back cover. Overall there is no alarming issues. Serves as a very scarce and desired artifact survivor! Far-better than most of the surviving copies from 1966.
- This 57 years past gem is getting increasingly hard to find with all the instant interests circling the globe; most nice clean copies like this one are in 'do not touch' private collections.
- 4 sharp corners, flat & square : there are NO delete marks, no writing, no split seams, and obviously clear and smooth, FINAL (1966) collection ready.
- The vinyl: Rated: NICE, highly near M- plays very collectible enjoyable (!) both November 1966 GOLD Elektra labels remain TOP clean !!
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
