Grahame ( Graham ) Bond - Love is the Law (U.S., Pulsar, `69, yellow label promo)
Cover: SIGNED on front, VG (2/3 top seamsplit and some rubbing/general wear, small "B" written on back, but it's all about that amazing signature!)
Disc: VG++ (a few light scratches & scuffs, some manufacturing marks on pressing)

Check out the remarkable signature / message that Bond wrote on this sleeve. Bond lived in Hollywood for a few years (read Dr. John's autobiography for dicey details on the period when he worked with, and lived in the same motel as, Graham Bond, when they were both working for Mercury Records subsidiary Pulsar.
Graham Bond (who added the "e" to his name because his fascination with the occult) was, of course, one of the founding fathers of the British blues and R&B scene of the sixties. Probably his best known work was in the mid-1960s with the Graham Bond Organization, which featured Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker (later of Cream ) as well as legendary reedman Dick Heckstall-Smith. The organization pounded out a dark and thunderously heavy sound for it's time (check out their live at Klook's Kleek recordings for proof) and Bond's later work just got darker and spookier as his interest in the occult deepened.

I offer no proof of authenticity whatsoever for this signature and am not an autograph dealer or collector. As I can say is that I found this at a used record store in L.A.

Please note that eBay's shipping calculator is frequently wrong. To avoid overpaying for postage DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE VIA EBAY (not that invoice that Ebay so thoughtfully sends out automatically, but the one from me, with a personal message from me and correct shipping costs for your location) Thanks!

International orders under $200 will be sent first class mail. ($14.50 for 1st LP, $4.00 for each additional LP)

International orders over $200 will be sent REGISTERED mail. There is an ADDITIONAL cost of $11.50 for this, so an LP that sells at $200 or more will have a shipping charge of $26.00 ($14.50 for first class mail and $11.50 for registration.) It is known to be a very secure shipping method, requiring signatures from postal employees at various stops along the way, as well as your signature upon receipt of the package.

I no longer require Express mail for any destination, but it is recommended for more expensive records.
