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 +22,000 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.

far too strange to ever achieve commercial success, and there presents the greatness found in the 60's psychedelic underground
Very unique and wild album with a totally unhinged; at times quite garage-punkish.
Don't let the familiar tunes put you off, the band mangles them into weird new shapes, with "For No One" and "Satisfaction" being particularly demented !!!
Over far (too) many years in searching unique rock vinyl releases, the OCTOPUS 4 album rates in highest levels delivering a fully flipped-out platter - their only album.
This cats came up with completely wacked-out ideas. Even for someone like me who spent an unhealthy amount of time since the mid 60'seeking world-wide self gratifying albums. Well then, the OCTOPUS 4 were led by Farfisa organ (keys/harsichord), fuzz-distortion guitar, some psych effects and often strange vocals. The Lp surprises, thrills and may send even a few listeners into ecstasy(?). If anyone is put off by the presence of few takes doing other bands versions, don't worry, Octopus 4 deconstruct and rebuild them into tunes so unique, they may as well be different songs. Highlight segment is a wild/crazy theater segment narration of Cinderella meeting Frankenstein perusing her for action, rasping groans, screams and all...
The original tracks are even better then the re-worked tunes, with twistss & turn erupting into multi-colored candy explosions like the best UK psych of the day. Between all these tracks are sound effects, bizarre spoken word (recitations) amid generally mad psychedelic goings-on that pull the rug out from under the listeners already frazzled brain.
Where is the album going next? Who cares, just enjoy the ride Opus 1 Bach And Co

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) laminated colorful gatefold actually appears closer to M- at first glance, yet close inspection yielded (i think?) is an un-noticable tape pull on back at left edge, white on white. plus a small pen squiggle on inside cover top right. Thin pen squiggle on one label side (lesser noticed) - all the rest of gatefold is fine, front cover is nicely M- looks great/colorful m=(look.) There are no faded areas, no delete marks, and no split seams, no bends.
- The vinyl: Rated: "EX" (excellent) appears vastly shiny/glossy clean ... only visual few micro-tiny scuffs IF under bright sunlight, otherwise not easily seen in house light; expect the entire LP to play with enjoyable audio. Both RCA labels are clean with mentioned (1)-thin pen squiggle on one side.
