Description
Selling-up my large record collection, amassed over 50 years. There are new listings every week. Do have a look at my other items - I may have something that you didn't even know you wanted!
After the "Forever Changes" album, this was the only other record made (in 1968) by that classic Love line-up, before the group broke-up. This record is much more of a group effort, without violins and orchestration, but still nice acoustic guitars, and a monster electric guitar solo on last part of the A-side. This USA first-issue copy has a very nice original sleeve. It also has a deletion hole drilled in it. Looks like, all the people who didn't buy "Forever Changes" when it came out, didn't buy this either. My single was just-about perfect, until I dropped it while photographing it for this listing. That caused a scrape on the A-side lead-in, just going into the start of the playing grooves. And a mark, which can be seen in my fourth photo. I decided to tackle the mark with a glasses / screen wipe, to see if it was just some paint from whatever it hit on its way to the floor. That dispersed the solid mark, just leaving some tiny white specks. So then, I was very interested to see how the dropping episode had affected the sound of the record A-side. I played it, loud, on my posh hi-fi. At the very start, a few quiet crackles, for about the first half-dozen rotations. Just excellent after that, loud and clear, with full original detail.
B-side plays very well, but some crackles and a few clicks in the first, quiet part.
So, still very good, despite being dropped.
Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look.
Postage at cost within UK - £1.53. Happy to do combined postage where practical. If you buy other singles on the same day, message me about it.
Dispatch will usually be "next day", if you pay promptly. My auctions end on Sundays, and I post on Monday afternoon. I only go out to post once a week, during lockdown, so if I receive payment after 14.00 Monday, parcel goes into the next Monday's posting. Collection in person is usually welcome, but not at present, when there are lockdown rules in effect, which forbid it.
I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF.
I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer. They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer. This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices.
Please be sure that you understand what the postal charges will be, before bidding.
E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery and customs charges are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges individually for the items, then do not bid.
Overseas customers - please DON'T request an invoice - I can't make one, and it screws-up the e-bay system.
International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme. If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid. International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!) Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands New Zealand Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand Turkey Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden, United States, Antigua & Barbuda Aruba Bangladesh Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brunei Darussalam Cambodia Cayman Islands Dominica Ecuador Egypt French Guiana Gibraltar Grenada Guadeloupe Guernsey Iceland Jersey Jordan Liechtenstein Macau Maldives Martinique Monaco Montserrat Nicaragua Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Reunion Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Sri Lanka and Turks & Caicos Islands Applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country, wherever import duty is appropriate. If you don't want to pay the customs charges, do not bid.
I don't send to China (because I prefer not to), and I also don't send to Japan, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, as importation of vinyl records is not permitted in their customs regulations.
