Lot of 3 RARE "Love" w/Arthur Lee LPs!  This is an LA band who was hugely influential on bands like the Doors and many others.  When you listen to these albums, you'll here the sounds that future bands would make famous.  These came from the same collection, and I believe are all first editions.

Includes:

Love - Love (1966) EKS-74001- Tan label first edition - Cover is VG+, with some fraying on the top right edge.  Vinyl is VG+, but plays more like VG++ due to the heavy, high quality vinyl and early pressing.  Some creasing on the label.  Really sounds good.

Love - Forever Changes (1967) EKS-74013 - Monarch pressing - Cover is VG+ with some ring wear and some fraying on top right edge. I'm grading the vinyl as VG (although it might visually grade as VG+), because it plays with some evident noise and pops due to the mastering (see below) each light scratch is heard.

Note on this album from Discogs:
"First pressings info: It is hard to find a copy that plays without excessive surface noise. This is not necessarily because the vinyl is of poor quality, but because the recording itself had to be mastered very softly (due to its length, dynamic range and stereo separation.) Elektra had this title pressed in 1967 by three different plants: Allentown (AL), Columbia, Terre Haute (CTH) and Monarch (MON)."

Love - False Start (1970) BTS 8822 - First edition, no trademark sign ® next to the Blue Thumb logo.  Jimi Hendrix plays on the first track! Cover is VG with some ring wear, some edge fraying on the top, and hole punched on top right.  Vinyl is a great sounding VG+.

SHIPPING: These will be shipped Priority Mail, in a new sturdy cardboard LP mailer with stiffeners.  Records will be shipped with record and inner sleeve removed from outer sleeve, to ensure no splits to the outer cover occur during transit.
