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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

"STARTING OVER"
John Lennon
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
USA - Geffen Records, 2 - 001
STILL FACTORY SEALED with hit single "STARTING OVER" transparent sticker on outside of the cellophane! Never opened/never played, flat & square with 4 sharp corners and NO bar code!
100% FIRST Release near 40 years ago in 1980 by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, it is the seventh and final studio album released by Lennon in his lifetime. The album is notable for its association with Lennon's murder three weeks after its release. It became a worldwide commercial success, and went on to win the 1981 Album of the Year at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards.
Having taken time off, Lennon refreshed, took time to carefully craft his last album down to every note:
- 1. Starting Over -- bouyant, bouncy, slightly old-fashioned confession of love
- 2. Kiss Kiss Kiss -- a celebration of the joys of sex; the layered vocals, the steady beat and the rock guitar all point towards a future that dance music took years to catch up to
- 3. Cleanup Time -- the Lennon version of funky, a 70s homage to blue-eyed rhythm and blues
- 4. Give Me Something -- every relationship has its bumps and difficulties; this is a confession of doubt and frustration even within a loving partnership. the imagery is stark, simplistic, raw, almost childish. Yoko's good at channeling her Id, but then both she and John sought benefits from primal scream and other therapies of the era
- 5. I'm Losing You -- great production and pacing on this one, John's side of the story of a relationship in peril; the tragedy of both sides knowing something's gone wrong with no clue how to fix it; hypnotic bass line ...
- 6. I'm Moving On -- ... which segues into Yoko's nightmare worst case scenario, what if it all just ended? What if she just got fed up and walked away? Is she making a threat, a promise, or just wondering if she could ever be strong enough to do it?
- 7. Beautiful Boy -- but there's a reason to stick around, and that's a lovely child they both share
- 8. Watching the Wheels -- was this the biggest single? Big chorus, masterful pop, and a self-deprecating admission from the once-rock-star, now father, now house-husband, and loving it
- 9. Yes, I'm Your Angel -- I take it they made up; a silly faux-retro curio
- 10. Woman -- And John remembered all the reasons he's loved her for so long, mysteries and all. This is his most contemporary and personal moment on the album, simply a beautifully constructed pop song. It's his "silly love song," delivered with sincerity and wit.
- 11. Beautiful Boys -- Yoko's variation on the earlier title looks beyond her own child as he was then, and towards his future development, and his own experience as determined by his gender and the world he'll live in. The song is eerie (rather than comforting as John's was), but it's still about a parent imparting wisdom.
- 12. Dear Yoko -- from the general to the specific, this is like a valentine's card or mash letter made public; the California pop production nearly saves it, but it's a throwaway
- 10. Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him -- the other big epic (to the Walking on Thin Ice single of the same era), a grand statement on the power of fate and eternal love; Yoko's turn to be hypnotic and mesmerizing, in her case with the repetitive beat and the innovative keyboard melody
- 11. Hard Times Are Over -- the former sixties activists can't end the album without a big union rally song, and of course for such a lasting testament of love it's a fittingly hopeful anthem
