Sweet Level Headed Vinyl LP Capitol SKAO-11744 1st US Press Love Is Like Oxygen
Sweet Level Headed Vinyl LP - Capitol SKAO-11744 First US Pressing (1978) with the long version of "Love Is Like Oxygen"
Condition: Very Good Vinyl and Very Good Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays very well with good fidelity and no issues aside from some occasional light background noise. Original cover is fully intact, no splits or writing, light wear and includes original inner sleeve with lyrics.
Level Headed is the sixth studio album by Sweet. Different versions were released by Polydor in Europe and by Capitol in the US, Canada and Japan. The album features "Love Is Like Oxygen", the band's last single to hit the top 40, peaking at No. 8. The single version of "Love Is Like Oxygen" is substantially shorter than the album version.
AllMusic lauded the album in their retrospective review, praising the wild sampling of styles and the band's shift from their earlier bubblegum singles to album-driven rock. They concluded: "Certainly, this is not classic-era Sweet, but that's precisely what's good about Level Headed – they're off-kilter and adventurous, occasionally stumbling but always making interesting music on an album that's anything but what the title promises.

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.
MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.
GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
