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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mind Games" is a low key charmer that plays to Lennon's strength as a songwriter, using early rock 'n' roll forms as a launchpad for songs that feature his familiar socio-political and deeply personal lyrics. The towering title track is an instant highlight but shouldn't overshadow other great stuff like the simple beauty of "One Day (At a Time)," or the passionate "I Know (I Know)," "Out of the Blue" and snarling rocker "Meat City." Lennon's not laying down any grand statements here, just turning in a solid batch of songs. "Mind Games" was the last album by a major artist to take peace and love as its central theme.
Lennon was still clinging to '60's idealism at a time when the rest of the world was beginning to wrap itself in disco and hedonism to wait outside of Studio 54. Lennon would eventually follow. After all, it was he who told us that "the dream is over". Mind Games lasting impression though, is that he was the one who didn't really want to wake up.
