THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VERY HARD TO FIND!!! AS THE FIRST US PRESS WAS ORIGINALLY PRESSED IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS IN STEREO AS THE BAND WAS UNKNOWN. IT IS THE 1966 DEBUT ALBUM FROM LOVE WITH THE ORIGINAL FORMATION COMMANDED BY ARTHUR LEE.

The vinyl is visually in very good condition. The value of this record is on its rarity rather than condition. Please see below a description of grades.

The GOLD ELEKTRA 1st PRESS labels are in excellent condition (side 1) and very good (side 2) .

The thick cardboard non laminated sleeve is in excellent  minus condition with edge and corner wear.

The spine is complete but worn in the center and has corner and edge wear.

I am not a dealer but an amateur collector selling duplicated items or records that I no longer want to keep (mostly due to space). I do not clean records (other than a dust with anti-static) and unless indicated in the listing the records have been only visually inspected.
