What you are bidding on is a stunning original factory sealed lp of DUNCAN BROWNE: GIVE ME TAKE YOU.  This is a classic rock lp on IMMEDIATE RECORDS.  Long out of print.  It won't get any better than this. It's like shopping in a time warp! First pressing. No bar code.

"Duncan Browne's melancholy first album, Give Me Take You -- released on music impresario Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label in 1968 -- is one wonderfully tender album. Many who only discovered it well after its original release are compare its dulcet introspective tone to Nick Drake's albums. It does fall into a similar English folk vein, though Browne's arrangements are, on the whole, more Baroque, giving the album a semi-classical, regal feel. Browne charted his own classical arrangements and wrote out vocal charts for a choir, but turned to his art school friend David Bretton for song lyrics. It's Bretton's lovely Pre-Raphaelite style phrases, used here in the guise of lyrical content, that fans of this album often react strongly to, one way or another. True, there's a youthful innocence and melancholy that comes off as somewhat naïve sounding, mawkish, and awkward in our modern age -- "Better a tear of truth than smiling lies" is one example -- but this is a minor quibble. Immediate issued only one single from the album, "On the Bombsite," but it failed to connect with listeners. At the time of its release, Oldham's Immediate was reportedly falling apart. He was in financial ruin and reportedly cut the sessions short to save money.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THESE SEALED LPS!  READ!  All of these lps are new and sealed and have been for nearly 40 years.  If you are planning on playing this, I highly recommend that you allow us to unseal (I'll leave the shrink on) and ship the record outside the sleeve. This is the only way of assuring that the sleeve does not get any seam splits.  If I am required on your part to ship sealed and leave that way I'll be glad to, but we cannot be responsible of seam splits during transit.  (you know how the post office can be).  IF YOU WISH FOR ME TO REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE, TELL ME WHEN YOU PAY FOR THE ITEM AND I'LL SHIP OUTSIDE THE SLEEVE. Otherwise if you don't say anything, I'll assume you want me to leave sealed and you will be taking the chance of seam splits during shipment. You will acknowledge this if you bid in this item.  I assure you there are no seam splits on any of these lp's unless I put it in the description. There is no amount of packing material that you can ship these in and be 100% safe from this.  We package in professional sleeves, but if the post office chunks it, they chunk it....and shipping outside the cover protects it from damage.  Most of the time it is not a problem, but it does happen from time to time.  Thanks for understanding.
