Love – False Start – Psych Rock-Hard Rock Vinyl LP – Jimi Hendrix

$

31

This was one of the most influential bands of the late 60’s, for so many reasons.  Led by iconic vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Arthur Lee, they were one of the first racially diverse rock bands.  They were one of the first bands to incorporate folk, jazz, blues, and garage style rock into their repertoire.  And most notably, they recorded several historic albums.  Allmusic describes them as the bridge between the Byrds and the Doors.  This was the band’s sixth album.  The entire album is fabulous, but what makes it even more special is the guitar solo on the first track that was written and arranged by Jimi Hendrix.  This powerful album was released on Blue Thumb in 1970, number BTS-8822.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just one very light surface scratch on side one that does not impact play. Side two is clean.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The gatefold album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a small bullet hole near the bottom left corner.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
