Here is a RARE original 1965 7" single pressing on the Kapp label (K-770) by Ronnie Dio (a.k.a. Ronald Padavona / Ronnie James Dio) titled "The Way of Love" b/w "Walking Alone".                You won't believe this is the lead singer of Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio!  These are the rare roots of the heavy metal icon vocalist.  This truly shows the awesome versatile pipes that Ronnie has in the pop vocal genre.  I know this ain't metal, but it is an awesome song if you respect the roots.                                                             The vinyl plays in strong VG++ condition, with dynamic fidelity!  This really sounds AWESOME!  You'll probably never find a cleaner sounding copy than this!  A few faint pops keep me from grading this in EXC condition.  The labels have some light surface wear (please see the pictures).            I combine shipping for multiple items won.  I charge by weight (roughly 13 oz. per LP, and 2 oz. per 7" single), and not by item, which makes it much more fair for the buyer.      Sorry for the high shipping costs, but this RARE record must be insured and shipped Priority to ensure its safe and protected arrival.      I DO NOT SH IP TO BRAZIL!    Please note - I no longer ship to Brazil.  You can thank the Brazilian postal service for that - they are quite corrupt and they have "lost" too many of my packages.                                                 
Please note: I've had several reports of some international packages taking several months to arrive, and two packages never arrived at all. If you want your package insured you must pay for Priority International shipping. First Class International shipping can not be insured (that's the post office's rule, not mine). I know the cost of Priority International shipping is outrageous, but that's the only way I can insure an international package.

Please contact me within three days after receiving your invoice, or your items will be relisted or offered to the next highest bidder. I have had too many delinquent bidders that have kept me hanging wondering if they plan on honoring their bids. If you bid on an item and you will not be around to contact me when the auction ends, please send me a message before the auction ends to let me know. I would very much appreciate the courtesy. Thank you.

If you require special packaging, inform me before you pay. I'm tired of people paying me, and then telling me they practically want the item shipped in a stainless steel case. Special packaging requires more material, which means it will weigh more, which means it will cost more. If you have already paid, you will get MY packaging regardless of what you specify afterward. You can see from my feedback that most items arrive safely and packaged well. The post office is sometimes irresponsible with their handling, but if an item is damaged it's not because of the packaging, it's because the post office treated it very badly.
