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.

1970 ORIGINAL HARD BLUES COLLECTIBLE WITH WILD FEMALE VOCALS

FEAR ITSELF

\ USA - DOT RECORDS -DLP 25942

TOPS... Hard to find [this] CLEAN....

FEAR ITSELF, a 1970 [original first pressing] collectible, was led by a rousing female, ELLEN McILWAINE, who went on as a prominant guitarist & folkrock singer ...

Includes the original 1970 "Dot Records' printed inner sleeve

Before it all happened, Ellen checked out New York's Cafe a Go Go, where she shared the bill with another young guitar sensation named Jimi Hendrix. After some time there Hendrix went to Britain to form the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Ellen returned to her hometown of Atlanta Georgia to form the group Fear Itself with Chris Zaloom (lead gtr), Paul Album (bass), and Bill McCord (drums). Fear Itself reflected the "underground" and "psychedelic" blues of the time, kind of a Janis Joplin/Jefferson Airplane meld. They made this one album for Dot records, featuring more rock-oriented versions of tunes she'd later be identified with: Crawling Kingsnake, Underground River, Born Under a Bad Sign and Billy Gene (later Billy Jean), as well as an 8:44 version (the mandatory Sixties "long version") of "In My Time of Dyin'".

At heart a hard garage blues band, with "psychadelic rock" edges. Sharp and well rehersed, Ellen McIlwaine has truly got something special going, ala Janis Joplin, but different. Her style is often something devestating. Listen to her wail like a fifth instrument in In My Time of Dying. One might find the selection of blues songs a little harsh, but this is decidedly strong stuff. Highlights are Underground River (alright now, she screams) In My Time Of Dying, Lazarus and Billy Gene.
