Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

USA - (tan) REPRISE RECORDS - MS 2196
RARE as a MINT IN SHRINK WRAP ARCHIVE COPY from no less than a whopping 44 years ago .....................................................................................................
Fans of the mega-shot self titled Stevie Nicks / Mac Lp & "Rumors" will find more than a few surprising numbers when comparing styles, potential forerunners of "the sound that made them famous."
The Fleetwood Mac albums: "Bare Trees", "Future Games", "Penguin", "Mystery to Me", and "Heroes are Hard to Find" represent Fleetwood Mac's albums separating Peter Green's blues warriors from the Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham pop-perfection juggernaut that FM became.
OK, this obscure album is for Fleetwood Mac junkies (even for primarily the Peter Green/Danny Kirwan era). Even when all the early guitar godz had decamped, the Fleetwood junkies still championed the group as the little band the could, should, and one day would be coming to a venue near you.
"Heroes are Hard to Find" is a set of strong songs and in the case of the title song, a personal ear-worm to some.
Heroes Are Hard to Find is an end to era ...After five studio albums, this is the last appearance Bob Welch will make with Fleetwood Mac before departing to form the band Paris. As usual, Welch contributes a great deal of the songwriting. Contrasting Welch is Christine McVie who is the other major songwriter for Heroes Are Hard to Find.
1974's "Heroes Are Hard To Find" is a surprisingly enjoyable album. Paired down to a four piece with Bob Welch and Christine McVie handling the writing chore. The result is an easygoing, infectiously melodic set that has more than a couple of radio-friendly tunes that would not have sounded out of place on the forthcoming "Fleetwood Mac", or "Rumors" albums. Among the highlights are the bouncy title track, Welch's impressive 'Angel' (not to be confused with the forthcoming Stevie Nicks song), and McVie's lovely ballads 'Come a Little Bit Closer' and 'Prove Your Love' (the latter a lost classic as good as anything Buckingham-Nicks came up with). Highest Point: "She's Changing Me"...
