Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Late For The Sky" leads listeners on a journey. Love is the overriding theme of this release, and the one to which Jackson returns again and again. The title song opens the record just as a relationship is dying ("Such an empty surprise to feel so alone.") But also explored are a young person's attempts to find a place in the world to belong ("Now the distance leads me farther on/Though the reasons I once had are gone/I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for/In the sand beneath the dawn"), attempting to come to terms with the death of a friend ("I don't know what happens when people die/I can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try/It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear that I can't sing/But I can't help listening"). The final song is an ominous, apocalyptic "Before the Deluge," which sounds as if it could have, or perhaps should have been written only yesterday. And as beautiful and timeless and relevant as all of these songs are, it is when he is writing and singing of Love that Jackson always has and will shine brightest. "Fountain of Sorrow" celebrates a woman's outer and inner beauty, which continues to hold a place deep in the grateful heart of a former lover. There's even a relatively light-hearted rocker (Walking Slow) in which he sings of love's conundrums ("Sometimes we forget we love each other and we fight for no reason.") But the song that defines this record, and Jackson Browne's career, is The Late Show, in which he sings to the woman he had come to think might only ever exist in his dreams ("I saw you through the laughter and the noise/You were talking with a soldier and the boys/While they scuffled for your weary smiles I thought of all the empty miles/And the years that I'd spent looking for your eyes...") The song ends with him waiting in his car outside her house (see album cover). Will she come? We wait, and wait...and wait, and then we hear a car door slam...and then another! And as beautiful soaring strings play over the sound of the car driving off into the distance, we believe once more in the endless power of love.

CONDITION: The cover: rated: near M- which can be considered a TOP copy, the dark colors, especially back cover has NO such wear usually seen, very wear prone - here a final collection copy ...still has a fresh appearance -- there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... VERY collection worthy ...
The vinyl: Rated: Mint looks very little played IF at all...one can easily tell, WILL play with very enjoyable MINT audio -so- playback will not contain distracting surface noise ... both Asylum labels are perfect
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
