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 +22,000 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.

Original 1968 first pressing on the famed collectible 360 Columbia label of the sixties ...
STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP! and MINTY CLEAN...Nicely Preserved for a 1968 ORIGINAL
-> After Chris Hillman dragged a friend, Gram Parsons into the Byrds, they made an album as close to a country masterpiece as a rock act could ever make.
In fact, the only tunes better than the definitive remditions here of songs by Bob Dylan ("You Ain't Going Nowhere"), Guthrie ("Pretty Boy Floyd"), and the Louvin Brothers ("The Christian Life") are Parsons's originals, especially the incomparable "Hickory Wind."
Sweetheart wasn't the first rural-rock album, but with its gorgeous three-way harmonies and sweet pedal steel, it remains the best.
Just some of the highlights include the opener, You Ain't Going Nowhere, is one of the best the Byrds ever did.
The version of the classic I Am a Pilgrim is worthy of timeless spins...as is "The Christian Life" with a Gram Parsons vocal so heartfelt that even non-believers can enjoy the song.
BYRDS rendition of "You Don't Miss Your Water" is SUPER as well.
Overall an influential epic album that only in past years finally received overwhelming praise deserved...
