LOVE s/t TOP! 1966 Garage Psych Original Gold label ARTHUR LEE M-

1966/USA/Elektra Records EKS-74001….. here’s a clean original pressing of their great first lp. The cover is in solid condition, This is a Mono cover with a bright red stereo sticker, there is a very small lower right corner cut, corner dings/wear/creasing, spotty seam wear, light shelf wear, one sound value sticker and remanants of another small sticker there too, couple of light handling creases, otherwise the cover is nice and clean with no splits. The vinyl is in M- like new condition. The record looks new and Unplayed! The labels are clean with no spindle marks! A very nice original pressing of their first lp! Please check my auctions for other rock and psych lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

One of the first rock albums issued on then-folk giant Elektra Records, the album begins with the group's radical reworking of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David song "My Little Red Book", the title of which is likely a tongue-in-cheek reference to Mao Zedong's Little Red Book (which was first published by the Communist Party of China in April 1964), and which features a guitar line that Syd Barrett altered considerably (although not unrecognizably so) in writing his own "Interstellar Overdrive", released on Pink Floyd's album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. The album also features anti-drug anthem "Signed D.C." (allegedly a reference to one-time Love drummer Don Conka), and the poignant "A Message to Pretty". The stark instrumental "Emotions" is used uncredited in Haskell Wexler's 1969 film Medium Cool as a recurring theme.

GRADING

MINT: I consider New Unplayed or Sealed items only.

M- or Mint Minus, very clean with clean visual appearance and sound, there may be a couple of light inaudible hairline scuffs or such and will be mentioned in the listing, a Mint- record looks and plays very clean. Same for the cover. Very clean with no delete or other issues.

EXCELLENT: still very collectable for most, visually and sonicly clean. A handful of light inaudible scuffs, or hairlines. Cover will be clean with little wear, or delete. No splits.

VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal wear, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much. Cover will have slight shelf wear, and or delete, minor split.

VG+ the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects.
