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.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

  RARE & SOUGHT old thick cardboard 1967 FIRST PRESS on THICK inflexible vinyl  featuring ROKY ERICKSON... on the legendary International Artists label. Legendary Texas acid injected fuzzrock crew who issued four outstanding psychedelic garage albums on the International Artists label...here's arguably the best album they released.a scarce hard to find and highly collectible issue = Printing by "Tanner 'N' Tanner"...featuring ROKY ERICKSON who issued four outstanding psychedelic garage albums on this International Artists label...
  
  Yes, it’s time to prepare for a trip to transcendental central. But get ready to have your hats blown clean off as I reveal that this is a trip... OF THE MIND! Woah....
  
  Your spiritual guides will be these gentlemen with the long hair. That’s right, the damn dirty commie hippies. Don’t fear them; love them. They’re the 13th Floor Elevators and they will be giving.
  1967 International Artists presents: "EASTER EVERYWHERE"....
  
  Here’s what happens when “Slip Inside This House” kicks everything off; ‘wow, this Roky Erickson guy sounds rather intense.’ Eight minutes later, this is what happens; ‘wow, this Roky Erickson guy has been sounding intense for the past eight minutes.’ While various layers of guitar float and intertwine, Erickson drives the song along by reeling off a solid monologue of pseudo-spiritual weirdness. It’s a perfect track for drifting in and out; for gradually losing a sense of time and perspective until recollection of a key phrase or intonation reminds you that, yes, it is still playing. As a statement of intent, it could not be clearer.
  
  Although nothing that follows quite reaches the kaleidoscopic heights of this opening magnificence, some brilliant flashes of colour still emerge. “Levitation” rattles along with a force that belies its floaty title, while spaced-out harmonies add to the druggy love vibes of “She Lives (In A Time Of Her Own)”. The acoustic-led “Dust” and “I Had To Tell You” provide gentle interludes, with subtle touches of harmonica on the latter quietly reminding us; ‘hello, yes, here we are in mid-60s hippy ballad territory ... and everything is going to be ok.’
  
  Stand-out guitar work from Stacy Sutherland wonderfully decorates this album, providing all the necessary shades and highlights for me to stretch my painting metaphors to breaking point (I’m saving the ‘brush with destiny’ pun for a special occasion.) Sutherland should probably have passed up his chance at lead vocals, however. His voice has a kind of gentle mumbling quality to it, perhaps reminiscent of a kindly, yet slightly confused uncle, but doesn’t carry “Nobody to Love” beyond mediocrity. Yes, it’s a trip to transcendental central. Your hats have been blown clean off in this trip... OF THE MIND! ...Woah.

  It’s difficult to recreate the sound of an electric jug in textual form, you know. Performed a couple experiments, but neither ‘wibbawibbawibbawibba’ nor ‘flobbleobbleobbleobble’ seemed quite right....

1.                  CONDITION:
2. 
   
3. The cover: rated: the fragile GOLD LEAF cover is strong VG++ front cover...the gold leaf ink has only minor cover wear and small stress marks at left edge from prior handling but nothing extreme or bad whatsoever! The front cover does NOT have the usual light oxidation , so overall looks pretty strong and nowhere near the normal IF found at all...Remember this is a highly prone-to-wear cover -one of the most fragile in that respect. Otherwise has been preserved pretty well over the past 54 years....there are no split seams, no delete marks, no writing ... This IS the earliest '67 pressing with "Posturos" printing instead of "Postures"

1. The vinyl: Rated: is all clean and smooth near M- TOP COPY = looks and will plays extremely clean...and has clean aqua International Artists labels...

A cool addition to anyone's music library!
