LOVING AWARENESS: Loving Awareness (More Love, ML 001, 1976, LP)
This includes both posters. Although the LP was pressed in Holland by Phonogram, it was specially pressed for the UK market and advertised on Radio Caroline, for whom the record was made in the first place.
Mick Gallagher and John Turnball had both been in Skip Bifferty and Bell & Arc, whilst Norman Watt-Roy had been in the Greatest Show on Earth, Glencoe and East of Eden. A year later and all of this lot would form the base band for Ian Dury's Blockheads.
Musically, this sounds a quite a lot like the Beatles/Wings meet a funky version of CS&N. Quality album!
Sleeve has the laminate removed by a sticker (see photo), otherwise is VG. The record plays at EX. Both posters are in very nice VG to EX condition (with no pin holes). And, yes, I've covered up the naughty bits with a fridge magnet and a badge - you do not get these, they are merely there so I don't get thrown off eBay for displaying pornographic images.
*    *    *    * Records generally have hairline marks from going in and out of sleeves - I do not mention these unless they cause audible noise. All records are play tested unless explicitly stated otherwise. Most of the records I am selling play at "Excellent" or "Very Good" as per Record Collector grading. Any specific defects are otherwise described in the listing. Please look at the photos carefully for condition of sleeves/labels. 
All items won, up to a value of £50.00, will be sent as Royal Mail 'signed for'. If items are bid above £50.00 (or multiple items combine to more than £50), they will be sent as Royal Mail Special Delivery, so that parcels are correctly insured against loss or damage in transit.
****If you win multiple items, please wait for me to invoice with correct postage. Note that postage costs include packaging costs. Where possible, packaging is recycled but sturdy/secure.
Combined postage **for UK buyers only** - 6 single LPs cost the same to post as 1 single LP. Note that if you win items in multiple formats (e.g., an LP and a CD) I cannot combine postage (though I can bundle up 7" records with an LP).
**Non-UK bidders** please note I use eBay's Global Shipping Programme, which means that I cannot amend invoices to combine postage in advance of payment (eBay handles all of this - it is a 'closed box' that I cannot even see inside). However, once paid for, I am able to send multiple items as one parcel and can refund extra postage charged by eBay once delivery is confirmed.
Non-paying high bidders will be blocked from bidding on future items.
*    *    *    * All items are from my own collection unless stated. Most has been in storage for over 20 years. Lockdowns made me wonder why I have multiple copies of records that I will never listen to. There are about 8,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive, jazz fusion, folk, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, spoken word, comedy, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection.
