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 +21,000 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.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WORLD WIDE SERVICE !

8. So yep, it’s time to prepare for a trip to transcendental central. So get ready to have your hats blown clean off as revealed this TRIP is a trip... OF THE MIND! ...Woah!!!
9. Your spiritual audio guides are the '13th Floor' long hair gentlemen. That’s right, "damn dirty commie hippies" ... Yet Don’t fear them; love them. After all,they’re the 13th Floor Elevators  ...and they will be giving.

    1967 International Artists presents: 
11. "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 - and he and his band are beginning the trip -- while various layers of guitar float and intertwine. Erickson drives the song along by reeling off a solid monologue of spiritual weirdness. It’s a perfect track for spacing out while spacing in; for gradually losing a sense of time and perspective until recollection of a key phrase or intonation reminds you that, yes, it all makes sense as a statement of intent, and it could not be clearer.
    
    Although everything that follows maintains the kaleidoscopic heights of this opening magnificence, brilliant flashes of color aurally emerge. “Levitation” rattles along with a force that belies its floating title, while acid-head 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 cosmic interludes, with subtle touches of harmonica on the latter quietly reminding us; ‘hello, yes, here we are in mid-60s of psychedelic hippie 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 to stretch painting metaphors to breaking point (I’m saving the ‘brush with destiny’ pun for a special occasion.) Sutherland's voice has a kind of gentle mumbling quality to it, perhaps reminiscent of a kindly, yet slightly confused uncle, and carries “Nobody to Love” beyond the realm. Yes, it’s a trip to transcendental central. Your hats have been blown clean off in this trip... OF THE MIND! ...!!!
    It’s difficult to recreate the sound of the ever present electric jug in it's psychedelic-enhancement forms, you know. Performed a couple experiments, but neither ‘wibbawibbawibbawibba’ nor ‘flobbleobbleobbleobble’ seem quite right in trying to articulate the sounds within this aural "Earthquake"
