Love Chronicles is the second album of Scottish folk artist Al Stewart, released in 1969 in the UK on the CBS label and in 1970 on the affiliated US label Epic. Among the supporting musicians were Jimmy Page and several members of Fairport Convention: bassist Ashley Hutchings, guitarist Simon Nicol (listed as "Simon Breckenridge"), and guitarist Richard Thompson (listed as "Marvyn Prestwick"). Largely written during a deep depression, the songwriting is generally stark and features what is usually credited as the first use of the word "fu¢k!ng" in popular commercial music. At least one song, "Old Compton Street Blues", was apparently recorded with a heavy cold.

· CONDITION:

· RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a) THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►.

(b) The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c) The record is apparently pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

· COVER

COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP (A PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP IS MISSING)

- Minor discoloration (color fading) noted along the spine and, to a lesser extent, the top seam (nothing significant)

- Cover has a small cutout corner visible

- Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1 (front side) and 2 (back side).

- Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record), probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

- Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging (nothing significant).

- No split seams

- No cut-out (drill) holes.

- No saw-marks or indents
