DESCRIPTION: New vinyl repressing of the long sold out edition of the glorious second album by this killer Spanish hard prog psychedelic band. Intención has never fetched the high dollar amount of their debut album, The Beginning Of The End, never the less, originals exchange hands for better than $400 on the collectors’ market and is considered by many to be better than their debut album. At the time of recording this album, the band was already considered one of the top stage acts from Spain, which led to their signing to the BASF label where they had access to a better production/recording facilities, which not only resulted in a better sound but also came in a more visually attractive full color gatefold cover; reproduced for this Wah Wah reissue. Originally issued in 1976, Intención is the perfect follow–up to The Beginning Of The End, with Atila offering further pieces led by the strong guitar licks of Eduardo Niebla, Benet Nogué’s organ & Moog, and Joan Punyet’s drums melting in top progressive freakouts, plus the addition of wordless vocal parts and even some parts sung in Catalan (the local language from that part of Spain), besides adding a symphonic edge to the general sound. Side A offers three killer tracks in that vein, while the B side is a newer recording of the band’s signature theme El Principo Del Fin, with updated overtones, Moog passages and a much better recorded sound than the one appearing on their debut album. The Wah Wah release comes with remastered sound taken from the original master tapes, as usual marvelously treated by sound wizard Denis Blackham at SkyMastering. It has an expanded 8-page booklet with liner notes by Fermí Puig and many photos. Limited repressing of only 500 copies. Highly recommended.
THIS ITEM IS NEW AND UNPLAYED. Used items will include condition details for the cover, disc, inserts, etc.
NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS: If the jacket or disc (unless sealed) is punched, marked, or cut in any manner, denoting a promotional/review copy, I will state that as part of the item description. Also if an issue is a "music club" edition, that will be noted in the item description.
If you have any questions or if you have additional information, especially corrections, to the description, please e-mail me. I particularly enjoy when an artist, band member, or someone who has personal background knowledge of a particular album/artist and offers their insight/information of that recording, which I will include with the description for future listings of that release. As a collector of many years, part of the hobby side for me is to learn about the background of the artists and music that I collect. Hopefully, sharing some of this information in my descriptions will help educate and enhance your listening experience.
All LPs are removed from their jackets and placed outside of the jacket for shipping. If an album comes sealed (and will be noted as such in the above description), it will be shipped whole unless you request that I open it up to place the disc outside of the jacket for shipping. Both jacket and disc are placed inside of an outer plastic sleeve before packing for shipping. I use professional corrugated record mailers.

INTERNATIONAL Shipping & Payment:
I ship worldwide; all packages shipped via first-class package international service and include a tracking number. NOTE: Check with your local post-office to see if your country participates in scanning US first-class package international tracking numbers upon arrival in your country. Because of the recent pandemic and labor shortages many country?s postal systems, as of July 1, 2020, no longer scan the arrival of first class international packages for tracking. The service is still available for all International Priority Mail and Global Express (at a much higher postal rate). Ebay is now offering Standard International Shipping Service, this is a joint service between eBay and the USPS to offer tracking for first class package international mail for a small additional fee to the regular shipping prices. The idea is to continue to make available tracking for international packages for eBay international shippers. This is a new service which I am learning about. I suggest those considering this shipping method to read further about the service on eBay. In any case, due to the recent pandemic the arrival of international packages via first class international is averaging 8-10 weeks from posting.
Shipping prices will vary slightly due to the weight of the disc(s), cover, and enclosures. The amount listed in the shipping details is for this item only. On multiple item purchases the shipping total will be based on the current rate, please request an invoice with the discounted shipping fee. If you pay the full shipping price total for each item on a multiple item purchase I will refund the discount amount to your account. I have been shipping records and CDs around the world for over 35 years, so purchase with confidence. Items are shipped in professional corrugated mailers with inside packing.
Payment for all customers will now be handled by eBay's managed payment service. Make sure your payment preference meets eBay's payment options before you purchase to avoid any delays in shipping. All international payments are due in US $ only. Payment must be received within 5 days after close of bidding or date of purchase.
If you would like to know the shipping total before you make your purchase please e-mail me with your request; be sure to include the specific title(s) that you wish to purchase.
NOTE: First Class Package International Service has a 4 lb. weight limit, if your purchase exceeds that weight limit the next cheapest option is Priority Package International Service (usually up to 4 LPs will have a total weight less than 4 lbs.). If security is a major concern then please request Registered Mail, available upon request and at your expense (required on all bids/purchases totaling $100 or more unless shipped via priority or global express with tracking; this will be included with the invoiced shipping total). If you have any special needs of your purchase or you have any questions please e-mail me before you make your purchase; an additional charge may apply..

If security is your concern please have your package registered (at your expense). I do my best to quickly post packages, but once the package is in the hands of the world?s postal system it is beyond my control. Most delayed/lost packages have disappeared/been delayed after they have reached their destination country. Keep in mind there remains a backlog and delay of mail due to the recent pandemic so your understanding and patience in this matter are appreciated.
ALL CUSTOMERS: If there is a problem with your purchase please e-mail me first with details before filing a resolution.
