Some words on this issue:  DELLO, PETE & FRIENDS: “Into Your Ears” (Hanky Panky Records) (2 LP Set: Mint/ Gatefold Jacket: Mint). Long deleted official limited numbered issue, this one being 371/500. “After tasting success in 1968 with the single "I Cant Let Maggie Go," Honeybus founder Pete Dello left the band after only one album to pursue a more settled lifestyle. His distaste for the rigors of touring left him with a surplus of un-recorded material that would eventually steer him back into the studio to record his first and only solo record. "Into Your Ears" features 14 songs, each under three-and-a-half minutes long, that prosper through a winning combination of goofy psychedelia and Beatlesque beauty. Dello’s voice is sweet and clear, with only a tinge of the British folk throatiness that ruled the era. The songs, while never complex, benefit from strategically placed string arrangements that rarely disappoint, and crisp production as exemplified on the set closer "Arise Sir Henry." Also included are the Magic Valley versions of "Taking The Heart Out Of Love" and "Uptight Basil," which differ only in sound quality (poorer) from the album renditions, and provide collector’s with the definitive edition of this highly sought after (almost) masterpiece.” (AMG). Dello’s unique conception of pop augmented into the perfect culmination of his personal way of understanding songs as conveyors of the most intimate emotions, full of charm, caprice and beauty. Besides the album's 12 original tracks, this limited 2 LP edition (long out of print btw) find Dello's complete solo discography before and after the album. Singles credited to fictitious bands responding to such fantastic and suggesting names like Magic Valley, Lace, Red Herring or Magenta also pass the revue. Total classic of UK sunshine pop psychedelia that has yet to encounter its true rival.

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
