From Rare Earth Records (RS 505), this is  BLUES HELPING  

by  LOVE SCULPTURE, an original (first) US pressing from 

December 3, 1968.  It is SEALED.  The original "dome" jacket is 

about NEAR MINT MINUS showing slight wear in bottom corners; 

shrink-wrap is tight and completely seals the cover (see photos). 

The LP is presumed MINT. It is certainly unplayed and obviously new.

The original seal on these LPs has two slight "points" along the dome's

curve where corners would be (see photos). A beautiful record! Low 

opening bid with NO RESERVE. 

We have included in this offering a polyester outer covering for use 

after the album has been opened. Why polyester?  Polyester, the 

ultimate material for archival storage, shows no discernable breakdown

when put through rigorous accelerated aging tests. In addition, it is 

quite pleasing to the eye. With a crystal-clear surface and semi-rigid

construction, polyester displays its contents in the best possible light

giving both an air of respectability and acknowledging the rare nature

of whatever it holds.  In other words: we use it for our most rare, 

high-end pieces. The Library of Congress agrees using polyester for all

of America's most fragile and rare historical documents. If you're 

searching for museum-quality preservation for your valuable LP collection,

polyester is definitely the way to go.

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you 

are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, 

a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden 

parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get 

dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, 

a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, 

or a student pay for college. Our customers are our 

shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. 

Thank you for supporting small businesses.

War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
