Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

Genesis

L'Ange Gabriel

Smilin' Ears S-E-1000  LP 33RPM 12" 1978 (Morocco)

“L’Ange Gabriel (Smilin’ Ears – 7705) was one of the very first Genesis bootlegs on vinyl with the first pressing on green vinyl and pink labels. This was copied on [the European 2 LP release] Visage (Sacem GEV20) [I doubt this was a copy].” [collectorsmusicreviews.com]

I would not call it one of the very first Genesis bootlegs. The two first were Wizardo’s Revelation Without A Cause (# 313) and TAKRL’s As Though Emerald City (# 1945), probably released within a couple of months of each other in late 1975/early 1976. Both containing selections from the KBFH broadcast from their Lamb tour stop at the Shrine Auditorium in LA on 24 January 1975. The next Genesis bootlegs were the TAKRL titles The Bedside Yellow Foam (# 1955), Awed Man Out (# 1975) and Swelled And Spent (# 2980). In contrast, this Smilin’ Ears title dates from 1978 and the opinionated comment on the back cover also makes more sense from a 1978 point of view then from a 1976 one.
