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 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.

..............................................................
The LITTER ~~ EMERGE:::
Firing on all cylinders, "Emerge" battles with a tightly wired impact of sound:::
From the initial electronic echo waves which crossfade into a building ‘66 fuzz guitar snarl, side one’s opening “Journeys” is a blistering scorcher. Tom Murray’s multi-tiered drum fills cascade all around the thicket of fuzz guitars and lead vocalist Mark Gallagher’s reoccurring cleansing phrase of “Time to rectify/All your sadness” acts as autosuggestion to what the music itself is actually doing: burning out all the bad things from your mind: the paranoia, confusion, low self esteem and self-doubt in your head and it wants you to go apeshit or maybe dance frenetically in front of the speakers or maybe get real high spirited and start to throw yourself against or over the wall. The other great line “And if you listen/We’ll show you how to open up your door” ain’t no lame claim either, since they’ve already busted down the door from the very beginning of the record to the end heaviness newly awoken and refreshed from its forays within the confines of ‘acid rock.’ “Journeys” IS that good, and the record just keeps getting better and better. At times it hints at a sexy Who “I Can See For Miles”-based slow hip shifting from side to side rhythm, but since those guys had been well ingrained in the collective Litter brainpan since ’66 or so it’s no surprise that it would be wind up becoming so deeply and unselfconsciously a large part of their riff arsenal. “Feeling” follows and here again it’s like an amphetamine version of “Heatwave” meets The MC5’s “Looking At You” played by a battalion of guitars strafing an ammo dump behind a setting of savage drumming, heavy on the tom-tom fills. “Silly People” starts oddly sedate and slips into a Quicksilver-type exposition complete with fake scat that gets kinda soppy until the warning cry “LOOK OUT!” cues a quick drum stomp and a mindrocking fuzz guitar bridge that detonates the previous mellow scene -- Which returns only to be re-ignited into oblivion. Simple and rock hard drums set up “Blue Ice” as its lyrics calmly deliberate a twisted psychedelic scenario: “Crystals white/I turn in pain/To escape/The shafts of light/Pursuing me/a window pane...” A scratching rhythm guitar keeps the tension coiled behind the rest of the guitar pandemonium. Soon, Gallagher finally cries out, “Feeling the color/of Beyonnnnnndddddd!!!” with echo that plunges him directly to the land of flashbacks. “Blue Ice” is almost the offspring of Arthur Lee’s “Feather Fish” both musically and lyrics-wise, so natch it’s one of the high-water marks of the LP. Ending side one is an unlikely cover of The Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.” Unlikely because the original is pretty and gentle, and how could The Litter tone down far enough to do it justice? Easy: they shoot up to an alien, gut bucket tempo just for the chorus (as the rhythm guitar is scraped out harsh and swift) and just keep on gliding down to a practically Donovan level of intensity for the rest of the track. Much like the previous track, “My Little Red Book” is covered with practically no consideration for the original rendition, except for the lyrics. An opening wordless yelp of “Whougghh...!” great in its uncontrollably anxious and spastic fit tosses the signal for the twin fuzz guitars to break off in circuitous routes all over the place for the rest of the track. It tramples over everything the Love original is AND played at such a volume, it’s true punk in its own ability to lash out even snottier than Arthur Lee. A breather in the form of “Breakfast At Gardenson’s” is somewhere between the quietly reflective moods of The Watchband’s “Miracle Worker” or The Bob Seger’s System’s “Gone.” Which is to say it’s ballad of the album. That is: until they RAVE UP once more as drums deluxe are pounded out with twin fuzz guitars and a madly strummed acoustic racing to the finish...Hey: this was supposed to be the ballad, guys!
