"Over the last four years, Audika and Rough Trade have diligently mined Russell's vast archive of previously unreleased music with the critically lauded albums 'Calling Out Of Context', 'Springfield', 'World Of Echo', and 'First Thought Best Thought'. This release completes the oeuvre by showing Russell's singer-songwriter side. 'Love Is Overtaking Me' collects the best of the previously unreleased folk, pop, and country stylings from Arthur's archive. Compiled from over eight hours of material and three years in the making, the album includes some of the earliest '70s compositions through to his very last at-home recordings in 1991. Several of these tracks are featured prominently in Matt Wolf's film 'Wild Combination: A Portrait Of Arthur Russell, including 'Close My Eyes,' 'Eli,'The Letter,' and 'Love Is Overtaking Me.' The album is compiled from several sources, including the legendary demos made for John Hammond Sr, a demo of a country song written for Randy Travis, and the late '80s collaboration with Steven Hall recording as bright and early. Chris Taylor from Grizzly Bear tenderly contributed to mixing, restoration and editing. Extensive liner notes from Russell's longtime companion Tom Lee provide perspective into the intimate nature of Arthur's process and songwriting." - Rough Trade Records

This record is lightly used. The vinyl is in excellent condition. The sleeve is in very good condition. One edge is a little beat up - a picture shows this in detail. Sleeve is in shrink wrap, but the wrap has some tears. This record will be shipped to you in a sturdy, brand new LP mailer. I always ship items within 48 hours of receiving payment. Thanks for looking!
