LOVEFour Sail
UK ELEKTRA (EKS 74049 FIRST PRESSING (November 1969) OF LOVE'S FOURTH LP "Four Sail"
COULD BE CONSIDERED MORE AN ARTHUR LEE SOLO PROJECT AS NONE OF THE ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS ARE PRESENT BUT THE SOUND IS STILL VERY MUCH LOVE - PSYCH/FOLK/ROCK - AND LEE'S PRODUCTION (with everything turned up to 11) AND THE SUBSEQUENT CUT ARE INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE - SOUNDS STUNNING
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST ORANGE/SILVER ELEKTRA LABELS
MATRIX: EKS 74049 - A1 / EKS 74049 - B1

LABELS: MINT-
Clean, fresh and unmarked labels with just one light spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Unmarked under normal light the surfaces display just wispy light hairlines under very bright light none of which have any audio consequence
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
In keeping with its barely played status my play-check at very loud volume revealed no major audio issues - no scratches, no loud clicks or pops and no groove-wear or distortion (there are some soft static-type ticks on 'Good Times' but there is no evidence for these on the vinyl surface and I didn't find them at all intrusive). A typical Arthur Lee production with magnificent sound - everything is turned up loud in the mix which gives the record an incredible 'in-the-room' immediacy
SLEEVE: MINT-
Superb example - practically as new - crisp, clean and fresh with sharp, square and unworn edges and spine - a finer copy I think would be nigh-on impossible to find
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
